‘Patently unethical and unprofessional:’ NYS defense lawyers call for Sandra Doorley’s resignation

The New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers called on Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley to resign Tuesday.

Stepping down would be the honorable thing to do.

[@dawnforbes4127]

Agree, the officer told her he could arrest her for what she did. Laws for you (the lemmings) and not for me.

[@7heRedBaron]

And you know she would prosecute Joe Public to jail based on nothing but the officer’s accusations. You just know she was one of those hard nosed prosecutors who would never release someone because they just don’t have any evidence of all that.

[@nancyanne1402]

He did not have the true backing of his superiors. The best they said is “I won’t take the ticketing of her from you” (not a direct quote) Not a single one (lt, sarge or chief) told him “I got your back” in any type of words.

[@BinaryAdventure]

100% accurate. Why is everyone glossing over this part? The focus was being put on her being “disrespectful”, no, she was CRIMINAL and didn’t get charged!!!

[@ipohtennischannel5482]

Ethics can't be taught at this late date. Ethics are taught from a child thru their formative years then thru early adulthood. She is essentially now what she will always be unless she has a significant emotional event that will cause her to completely reexamine her life.

[@7heRedBaron]

She has already had all the training there is. Given a month she could write an entire master’s thesis on what to do in this situation and why off the top of her head. But once she learned shortcuts and chose the shortcuts over the book, then it didn’t matter because she had already made the choice to do it wrong anyway.

[@wittenberg5]

Her plan is to stay in office and let this whole thing blow over. Don't let her succeed. Keep up the heat, keep up the pressure until she steps down.

Well, first, you need to call the chief of police from your vehicle. Verbally harass the officer on site. Then comes the apology.

[@julieb7785]

[@7heRedBaron]

If I lived anywhere in New York, I would be calling that police chief daily. I didn’t speed today, but if I do, you got my back right?

[@skeetrix5577]

on the original body cam I looked up the GPS coordinates off the video and found exactly where her house was. the cop kept saying "I was following you from Phillips rd" well no matter where she was at on Phillips road her house was a significant distance from that street and through a subdivision so the fact she says she didn't know he was pulling HER over is a load of crap. it's amazing the cop didn't do a felony stop and pull his weapon on her when she PULLED INTO HER GARAGE btw people that doesn't absolve yourself of no longer being on a traffic stop! I'm sure most rational people know that but it seems there are fewer and fewer of them in this crazy world we live in

[@EffSharp]

The way I see it there are only two options here: she goes to jail or everyone currently serving time for evading gets released. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@karinaz8756]

No ethics training is possible because she’s already chosen to do wrong when she could write the book on right and wrong.

She needs to be dragged out of her office, kicking and screaming if necessary, charged for all her crimes, jailed and then given a court date like a normal citizen. She can plead innocent as she has a right to, then have a real prosecutor present any and all evidence, her attorney representing her, and then the judge or jury deciding her guilt. If found guilty, and it sure looks that way, be sentenced like an ordinaty citizen. Did I miss something in civics class? Do they even teach that in school any more? But, her being the officeholder she is thinks the rules don't apply to her. Am I missing somethingbhere?

[@karenklores2439]

It's too late for a breathalyzer test , but not too late for an arrest. The Police need to go to her house and say "surprise, you are under arrest for fleeing and eluding police and for resisting a traffic stop on April 22, 2024" Then take her to jail and book her. Let her spend a night in jail and have first appearance the next morning so she can bond out. That's the way the rest of us are treated under the same circumstances.
