Sun Yilin and Stephen Wu were selected for the Manhattan Prosecutor Leadership Team

Alvin Bragg, a newly appointed Manhattan prosecutor, announced 18 key members of his leadership team this week, stressing that his team's purpose will be to attach equal importance to public safety and judicial justice. Among the 18 members, there are two members of Chinese descent, one of whom is Chanterelle Sung, who earlier served as assistant prosecutor under Vance and later resigned in anger over the National Treasure Bank case. The other is Steven Wu, the head of the appeals division who currently serves in the New York State Attorney's Office.

According to the Manhattan Prosecutor's Office, Ms. Sun will serve as Chief of Strategic Operations, responsible for ensuring that the prosecutorial team maintains a balance between community safety and justice.
