One of the victims whose body parts were found in multiple locations across Suffolk County was identified on Monday. The suspects in the case have not been charged with the killing of the victims and were released without bail, sparking controversy over New York's bail reform laws.
One of the victims whose body parts were found in multiple locations across Suffolk County was identified on Monday. Steven Brown, 44, and Amanda Wallace, 40, appeared in court on Monday in Central Islip, where the judge ordered their GPS monitoring remains in place. They have not been charged specifically with the killing of the two victims, so they were free to go until their next court appearances or if they face more charges.
The case has drawn attention to New York's bail reform laws as many have wondered why the suspects would be free to go without bail. Long Island Republican senators and assemblymen called the suspects' release unacceptable and in response, introduced a bill on Friday that would make it a Class E felony to conceal or mutilate a human corpse, making the offense eligible for bail. "The mental capacity, the depravity it takes to mutilate a human being, a dead corpse, and then to be out in the community again is just simply outrageous," said New York State Sen. Anthony Palumb
