“There needs to be a serious reevaluation whether these in-patient programs have to have some degree of supervision or authority,” Bederow said. Michael Discioarro, a defense attorney and former prosecutor in The Bronx, said that’s a foundational problem. Especially when you’re dealing with the mentally ill.
“Thus, when we send someone to these programs, we may be setting them up for failure — as much as we want to help them,” Discioarro said.Tracking him through an electronic bracelet wasn’t feasible, either.
“We were informed today that Mr. Neely left Harbor House yesterday, I think, against clinical advice,” she told attorneys.He was no stranger to the system — in total, Neely had racked up more than 40 arrests on a lengthy rap sheet about 43 calls for an “aided case,” which means someone is sick, injured or mentally ill, sources have said.
