Did Authorities in New York City Lose More than 1,300 Confiscated Knives?

Documents from the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. show that a program used since 2010 to justify aggressive prosecution of New York's controversial gravity knife law was marked by dysfunction and was, in its most important respects, never completed, or even begun.

Meanwhile, the DA's office maintains they have no record as to the whereabouts of more than 1,300 purportedly dangerous knives seized from retailers in 2010.

The program — a high-profile crackdown on retailers selling such knives — has also seen hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding go unspent, and law-breaking retailers go unpunished.
