Prosecutors have reversed themselves and say they will not downgrade charges against an undercover police officer and other bikers in the Alexian Lien beating, reports the NY Daily News.
The decision to reduce charges against officer Wojciech Braszczok and other bikers was made in December after it appeared the injuries sustained by Lien were not as serious as first thought.
Prosecutors say that is no longer true.
“Unfortunately, it appears the victim’s injuries have not healed as well as we initially believed they would so we’re not [GOING]to reduce the charges at this time,” said Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass.

RE: Charges won’t be downgraded in Alexian Lien video: I think it would be suiting that Alexian Lien has a scar on his face. It would be a reminder of the bad things he did on the 29th September of 2013. Other people would be warned about this dangerous man. The District Attorneys office in Lower Manhattan really turns their blind eye towards his numerous crimes. In USA a felony is minimum of 12 months prison. From Kevin Bresloff’s video it is easy to enumerate 4 felonies committed by SUV driver. But SUV driver is charged with none. Such favoritism is discusting,
