The Bronx judge who cut loose an accused cop-shooting teen gangbanger is “agenda driven” — and part of the reason crime is spiraling out of control, a furious law enforcement source told The Post on Saturday.
Camrin Williams, a 16-year-old drill rapper who goes by the stage name C Blu, was let off the hook in the gun and assault case, which the city Law Department said Friday “cannot be prosecuted.”
Williams’ gun went off when he tussled with an Officer Kaseem Pennant in January outside a building in Belmont. The cop was hit on the leg and the teen in the groin.
The case was dropped after Bronx Supreme Court Justice Naita Semaj — who has a history of cutting loose allegedly violent teens — earlier disputed the NYPD’s version of events and discredited an officer’s testimony about the arrest, which was captured on one of the cop’s body cameras.
