“Our position is that you prematurely substituted your version of events for jury fact-finding functions and failed to keep your promise to the court or to my family to seek even some measure of accountability,” the slain man’s brother James Murray and Stephen Murray wrote to Prague in December.
James Murray was fatally stabbed by his estranged wife Tracy McCarter in 2020, who says she killed her husband in self-defense and that he was an alcoholic. McCarter has been supported by domestic violence advocates, according to past coverage from the New York Post, and Bragg received a donation from the advocacy group Color of Change, which advocated for her release, during his run as a DA.
He tweeted in support of McCarter’s release in the run-up to his election, and eventually secured his bid to drop murder charges against the woman, which the slain man’s family said was motivated “100%” by the donation from Color of Change.
