While there are heroes out there, it seems like more and more are we here.

There's been another failure at every level.

Hello and welcome to Best Case Worst Case. This is Worst Case scenario. I'm your host,

Francie Hakes, former state and federal prosecutor, and with me today is...

of the statute. The statute has passed. It has not yet been signed.

Governor Cuomo has said that he's going to sign into law in February. So hopefully that does happen,

but I think we have to read the fine print of the law to see what actually got changed. But in the end,
