Darcel Clark Biography

Darcel Clark is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 2, 1962 in Bronx, New York, United States. Darcel Denise Clark (born on April 2 1962) is a New York attorney and prosecutor who is currently the Bronx County District Attorney, being in the position since. Clark has been the only woman in history to be elected to that post, and is the first person of color to hold the position of District Attorney in the entire history of the State of New York.

The year 1999 was the time that New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani appointed Clark as an Judge of the Criminal Court for the City of New York, where she remained 7 years. in 2006 Clark became a judge on the Supreme Court in Bronx County and served there from 2006 until the Governor Andrew Cuomo appointed her to be an Associate Justice in the Appellate Division of the First Department of the New York Supreme Court in November 2012.

Clark’s tenure as District Attorney has been marred by reports of cronyism and misconduct. In May 2016, newspaper accounts revealed Clark to have rehired a friend who had been forced to resign form the District Attorney’s Office years prior after falsely impersonating a police officer, breaking a man’s nose, and fleeing the scene of a crime in a fit of road rage. Reporting further revealed that Clark gave a prominent promotion and raise to the assistant district attorney responsible for the bungled prosecution of Kalief Browder. A federal civil rights lawsuit alleged that Clark and high-ranking members of her newly- formed Public Integrity Bureau sought to harass and intimidate a police officer for issuing a traffic ticket to fellow Democratic party member Vanessa Gibson. Another federal lawsuit claimed that Clark demanded the resignation of a disabled prosecutor after she requested handicap access to accommodate her wheelchair. Court filings in the conviction integrity investigation surrounding the murder conviction of Calvin Buari revealed that investigators acting on behalf of the Bronx District Attorney’s Office sought to bribe and threaten a witness who exculpated the wrongly accused and imprisoned defendant, ultimately silencing this witness. Clark’s prosecution of Sgt. Hugh Barry for the murder of Deborah Danner, an elderly woman suffering from a mental illness who was shot and killed in her home, resulted in an acquittal on all charges. Clark was later revealed to have suppressed evidence and kept an innocent teenager in jail for over one year on attempted murder charges until, on the eve of trial, Clark was forced to dismiss the case in the wake of a public outcry. Clark dismissed another case against a young man kept in jail for years without being convicted after claiming, again on the eve of trial, that the alleged witness to this murder could not be located.

After the law college, Clark returned to the Bronx in the Bronx, where she was appointed assistant district attorney to Mario Merola, the Bronx County District Attorney at the time. She continued to work in the same position under her direct predecessor Robert Johnson. Clark was the director for the Narcotics Bureau from 1993 to 1997 and as Deputy Director of the Criminal Court bureau from 1997 until 1999.

Clark decided to step down from the bench to seek election as the Bronx County District Attorney, following Johnson’s decision to step down to seek a judgeship one week after his win in the primary election in September 2015. This sparked controversy, as much of the press perceived Johnson’s decision as orchestrated by the Bronx Democratic Party to avoid selecting the next district attorney in the primary. Regardless, Clark easily defeated her Republican opponent, Robert Siano, in the November 2015 general election, garnering 86.64% of the vote.
