WASHINGTON (TNND) — New York Republican attorney general candidate Saritha Komatireddy dropped a 52-count “public indictment” against state Attorney General Letitia James (D), accusing her of “dereliction” of duty ahead of their Thursday debate.

The accusations were part of a campaign stunt that Komatireddy, a former federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of New York, used to argue that James has focused too much on prosecuting President Trump to fulfill her duty to New Yorkers during her two terms, the New York Post reported.

“The People do not allege that the defendant has been idle. They allege that she has been busy with the wrong things,” Komatireddy said, who listed the “Exasperated People of the State of New York” as plaintiffs.

“While the defendant built a national reputation, much of the work of the office went undone,” she added.

The faux court document included “counts” against James, such as failing to intervene as New Yorkers froze to death last winter, allowing mentally ill and repeat offenders to stab and kill people while supporting the state’s cashless bail law, and permitting an increase in crime and homelessness.

“New Yorkers froze on sidewalks. New Yorkers were shoved onto subway tracks by men every part of the system already knew. New Yorkers were burned alive in train cars,” the indictment states.

“A family of five, three of them small children, died in a fire at an Endwell motel that a county used as a shelter. A Buffalo mother was shot in front of her three children by a man a court had released the day before,” the fake document reads

Komatireddy claimed that James “did not aggressively prosecute Medicaid fraud and welfare fraud or deed theft or investigate tax-exempt not-for-profit groups including those operating homeless shelters.”

She also alleged that opioid settlement money won in the name of those who died was “spent on snowblowers and headsets” and that shelter executives were paid seven figures from grants that James increased.

In the “demand for relief” section of the document, Komatireddy asked voters to oust James on Nov. 3 so that “the office be returned to a prosecutor who will use its powers for the purposes for which they were granted. To lock up repeat offenders, to bring dangerously mentally ill New Yorkers indoors and into treatment, and to root out the fraud that steals from the poor, the sick, and the taxpayer.”

Komatireddy also demanded that an Office of Civil Commitment be opened under the attorney general’s purview, which would be staffed with law enforcement professionals and doctors, to address mentally unstable individuals on the streets.

The GOP candidate’s complaint includes the names of more than three dozen victims allegedly killed or badly injured by violent recidivists or mentally ill people who should be confined.

The dereliction of duty counts include:

– Counts 1-11 allege leaving mentally ill and homeless people on the street. “The People have found no evidence that in eight winters she (James) built a mechanism, brought a case, or made a demand to protect the homeless from the cold, that she sent the Charities Bureau to examine conditions inside a single shelter, or that she sought the commitment of one New Yorker too sick to come indoors,” the complaint reads.

– Counts 12-22 include repeat offenders, subway pushers, and “the war on police.” James “sided with repeat offenders over their victims and over the police,” Komatireddy alleged.

– Counts 23-24 highlight the increase in hate crimes and antisemitism, and Komatireddy calls for the attorney general’s office’s Hate Crimes Unit to take action.

– Counts 25-28 argue that James failed to push the state legislature to close a loophole that makes it more difficult to bring sex crime charges if a victim voluntarily drank or got high before an alleged assault.

– Counts 29-40 focus on fraud and taxpayer funds. “Criminal indictments [for Medicaid fraud] fell from more than 100 a year before she took office to nine, and the unit lost its federal certification,” according to the complaint, calling James “the watchdog that did not bark.”

James’ campaign spokesperson responded to the accusations in the fake court document, saying, “Attorney General Letitia James files real lawsuits in real courts every day to protect New Yorkers’ rights and their wallets.”

“While Saritha Komatireddy spent today writing this press release, the Attorney General announced the arrest and indictment of a Queens pharmacy owner for defrauding Medicaid to the tune of $31 million.”

Last month’s Siena University poll showed James leading Komatireddy 52% to 39%, with the attorney general’s lead shrinking by 5 points from an August survey.

James is seeking a third term and will face Komatireddy in a debate Thursday night.
