Madeline Brame lost her son, Army veteran Hassan Correa, to a violent murder in New York. In October 2018, a 35-year-old married father of three who had served in Afghanistan was allegedly beaten to death by four assailants.
Brame has been vocal about the failures of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to bring the murders to justice.
The New York Post reported:
Madeline Brame, who sent a letter to Bragg and Gov. Kathy Hochul, claims the DA didn’t communicate with her before they decided to offer plea deals that would have allowed one of the defendants to serve time.
“You violated my rights as a crime victim to be fully informed and heard,” Brame wrote in a letter sent Thursday.
“Why would you dismiss murder charges against half of the participants when the murder and their characters were caught on video?”

At the time, Mary, 41, accused her brothers of stabbing him as he tried to pin Correa before punching and kicking him and then chasing him as he tried to escape.
However, during a May court hearing, Bragg’s prosecutors said they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mary intended to kill Correa or that she knew her brother had a knife.
Prosecutors argued that Mary’s behavior that night “supports her case,” that she did not intend to murder Correa, and that evidence showed her presence was “not a determinative factor” in the vet’s death.
As part of her plea deal, Mary pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of felony assault and was allowed to walk free after spending a year in prison as the case went to trial.
Stewart was allowed to plead guilty to attempted gang assault and will be sentenced to seven years behind bars on June 29 under a deal with Bragg’s office.
Brame joined a panel on Fox News and discussed Bragg’s policies and his decision to go after President Trump rather than the violent criminals who ravage the city.
Fox reporter:
Madeline How do you feel? I know you’ve been on our show before and you lost your son, he was murdered. And here we have Alvin Bragg focused on President Trump paying off some woman he had an affair with.
Desires:
Well…he picked up a new slogan…’No one is above the law.’ If no one is above the law, I don’t understand how charges of Alvin Bragg murder and gang assault can be dismissed against the two men involved in my son’s murder.
Because it seems to me that murderers are above the law in New York City. So, all this ‘law is not above the law’ nonsense. This is absurd. We see this in black and brown communities every day, every day, all day…everyone is above the law.
Not even coming to the DA’s office. Cases are not being investigated. duration ok They are being released from the premises with a desk appearance ticket for a referral to a community-based organization that has shown no measurable results of the effectiveness of what they are doing with our millions and billions of tax dollars.
Every day we see crimes spiraling out of control.
And Alvin Bragg is absolutely zeroing in, right. They rely on data that, well, is higher than zero percent of collateral damage.
Fox reporter:
And did you vote for Trump in 2020? Will you vote for him…
Desires:
Absolutely and I will vote for him again, I am a proud black conservative.
