"Controversy Surrounding NY Gov. Hochul's Attendance at Slain NYPD Detective's Wake"

New York Governor Kathy Hochul defended her decision to attend slain NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller's wake despite being told "his blood is on your hands." Hochul insisted that she was never told to leave and acknowledged the family's outrage, stating that she would do it again as it's her job. Detective Diller, 31, was killed during a routine traffic stop, and the prime suspect, Guy Rivera, has a lengthy criminal record. The governor's attendance at the wake has sparked controversy due to her association with controversial bail reform, which law enforcement blames for the rise in recidivism.
