streets before she\u2019s forced off the Criminal Court bench?<\/p>\n<p>The latest outrage: It turns out she sprang Nayshawn Wilkinson over prosecutors\u2019 objections just last month, bare weeks before he <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/08\/us-news\/accused-west-indian-day-parade-shooter-was-out-on-bail-for-attempted-murder\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">allegedly shot another man<\/a> near the West Indian Day parade route.<\/p>\n<p>In that earlier case, Wilkinson faced charges including attempted murder over two shots fired at a 15-year-old victim who got hit in the foot, requiring surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors pleaded with her to keep the perp behind bars, but she let him walk on a puny $5,000 bail or $10,000 bond \u2014 the latter figure meaning  he\u2019d personally have to put up just $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, another judge did it right, setting Wilkinson\u2019s bail at $500,000 in the new case.<\/p>\n<p>This was no outlier of Robinson\u2019s injustice: Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/08\/25\/opinion\/why-terrible-soft-on-crime-judges-plague-new-york-courts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">we noted<\/a> how she turned loose two other perps accused of attempted murder on no bail at all.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tMore From\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPost Editorial Board<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, she\u2019s never \u2014 not even once \u2014 granted prosecutors\u2019 requests for bail or remand.<\/p>\n<p>Of 13 arraignments <a

reviewed<\/a>, eight resulted in no bail whatsoever for the defendants, and low bail for the other five.<\/p>\n<p>A judge who repeatedly frees the worst of the worst perps certainly stands out as the worst of the worst bench-warmers, but the local corrupt, inbred judge-picking system too often produces dangerously unqualified jurists like Robinson, the niece of former Assemblyman Nick Perry.<\/p>\n<p>NYPD data for this year show that, through August, <a

in<\/a> 263 bad guys who\u2019d been arrested three or more times for felony assault.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGet opinions and commentary from our columnists\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p

over the same period in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The state criminal-justice \u201creforms\u201d (like cashless bail) passed in 2019 explain much of that spike.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s surely worsened by judges like Wilkinson, who refuse to lock up dangerous thugs even when the law permits it \u2014 guaranteeing that the city sees the same violent thugs terrorizing law-abiding citizens over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>Bad enough to let shoplifters and other low-level offenders get off scot-free, but attempted murderers?<\/p>\n<p>What in Heaven\u2019s name is Robinson thinking?<\/p>\n<p>Lefties claim the system is \u201cracist\u201d if it remands \u201ctoo many\u201d black or Hispanic perps, but that ignores the simple fact that most crime victims are the same minorities.<\/p>\n<p>Even in New York\u2019s insanely pro-criminal political climate, Robinson\u2019s record should be intolerable.<\/p>\n<p>Court-system administrators need to finally give her the heave-ho \u2014 before we wind up writing about her again, this time with an even more horrid story of avoidable bloodshed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How much havoc must let-\u2019em-loose Judge Janice Robinson
