Kathy Hocul was lucky to win IMHO. She was/is really wearing binders about crime saying it wasn't/isn't so bad. The fact the the race was as close as it was is a big signal and NYC had to pull her chestnuts out of the dire. Further, people have begged her to replace an ineffectual DA Bragg and she refuses to do so. So there are probably many reasons for what is going on but she is not blameless.
