From: Akash Mehta
Dear Mr. Litsky,
Thank you for this letter - I very much appreciate the information about PCMS.
You indicated you could provide "the name of the prosecutor assigned; the court docket, superior court information, or indictment number; whether the top charge is a felony or misdemeanor; and the arraignment date."
Would this include the Internal Case ID used by the state court system to track cases? Or is there any other unique signifier assigned to each arraignment that could allow me to remove duplicates and potentially cross-reference this data with data provided by the state court system?
Also, I was surprised that the bail information would not be included. Does the Richmond County DA not keep any records related to bail-setting requests?
Yours,
Akash Mehta
