The Big Apple judge who cut loose an alleged nut accused of randomly attacking a subway cello player is a former Legal Aid attorney with ties to progressive politicians.
Judge Marva Brown, who opted Thursday to release the 23-year-old alleged attacker — who has at least eight prior arrests — was only recently elected to her judicial role after nearly two decades as a public defender.
Brown became a Brooklyn civil court judge in November after campaigning as self-described “zealous advocate, compassionate advisor, respected negotiator and skilled litigator,” according to her campaign site.
The married mom of three was endorsed for the role by a slew of liberals, including State Assemblyman Brian Cunningham, Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and the Brooklyn Democratic Party.
After her election victory, lefty Brooklyn city councilman Chi Ossé was among those to heap praise on her, describing Brown in a string of tweets as “amazing” and “an indispensable community member.”
At Hunter’s arraignment on second-degree assault charges, prosecutors argued for $15,000 cash bail or $45,000 bond, noting that she has failed to appear at three of her five court dates in other criminal cases last year.

Brown — a graduate of Columbia University and the New York’s Cardozo School of Law — kickstarted her legal career back in 2006 as a Legal Aid Society attorney repping perps charged with misdemeanor offenses, according to her website.

Details of Brown’s background surfaced a day after she decided to set Hunter free on supervised release over the Feb. 13. caught-on-camera subway attack on performer Iain S. Forrest — despite the jurist being able to set bail on the assault charge.
Hunter, who lives in Brooklyn, also had a bench warrant out for her arrest in two cases involving petit larceny.

Woman, 23, arrested for attacking NYC cello player in subway station after weeks on the lam
A 23-year-old woman has been arrested for last week’s a brutal, caught-on-video bottle attack on a New York City subway performer — who said Thursday that he is once again ready to play his cello.
Amira Hunter, of Brooklyn, was captured by the NYPD Wednesday evening — 15 days after she allegedly battered Iain S. Forrest, 29, as he performed “Titanium” by Sia in the Herald Square station.
Hunter is well-known to police, with eight prior arrests. She was last taken into custody in October after stealing $2,050 worth of bathing suits from New York’s famous Bergdorf Goodman.
Hunter, who violently whacked Forrest in the head with his own metal water bottle, had been arrested for assault twice in 2019, after her mother called police. She also has priors for larcenies and criminal contempt.
On Wednesday, the young Brooklynite was charged with assault and is currently at Central Booking pending arraignment.
Wonder what would happen if someone attacked one of the “Judge’s” three kids?
Another ignorant, low IQ blat.
Take the trash to the curb and out.
In NYC are these judges appointed or elected?

NYC has been given to Afro Americans to run and they are failing miserably. GET OUT OF NY!
It’s NYC. Build a wall around it like in that movie.
Due to the proliferation of unqualified judges and soros DAs, it has become very dangerous playing cello on the streets of NYC.

Everyone seems to be missing the point here. From the way he was dressed and the instrument he was playing, the odds are this was a white supremacist playing white privilege classical music.
This poor crime-work specialist may have just come from a DEI lecture by her masters. She would have been righteously offended that this evil person was allowed to do this in a public place. Maybe what she did was technically wrong, but we must have compassion for her feelings.

In NYS judges are elected but the normal pattern is for a person to receive multiple party nominations after making a quiet contribution to each party. The going rate used to be $40K with the Dems getting 25, the Reps 12 and the Liberal party 3. Usually the Conservative party ran its own candidate
When can we expect Judge Marva Brown to rule Trump ineligible to be on the New York ballot?
God forbid that one of HER pwecious chillin is attacked and maimed by someone she, herself, released to prey again and again and again...
Only fill it with sea water...
...and sharks!
She is a violent black female democrat. The perfect soldier for the liberals. She hates anything good and decent. She is jealous of art and music. She is a virulent racist who blames everyone for her inconveniences. And THAT is exactly what the democrats want as a foot soldier in their revolution.
Since there’s no photo, I assume victim is White.
