Madeline Brame, a national victims’ rights advocate, delivered a speech on the second day of the Republican National Convention. She was invited to speak as an everyday American and criticized Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his handling of her veteran son’s murder case.
Brame shared with Scripps News the tragic story of her son, U.S. Army Sgt. Hason Correa, who was fatally stabbed in Harlem in 2018.

Four individuals were convicted in Correa’s murder, and DA Bragg has been accused of attempting to negotiate lenient plea deals for them after he assumed office. The focus of the second day of the RNC was on law enforcement and crime.
Brame referred to the individuals convicted in her son’s killing as homicidal maniacs and described them as career criminals who should not have been allowed to roam the streets of New York, as per Scripps News.
Bragg, who has faced criticism from Trump supporters for his involvement in a hush money case against the former president resulting in his conviction on 34 felony charges related to falsifying business records, has been consistently targeted by Brame. She has made multiple appearances on networks like Fox News and Newsmax to discuss her son’s case.

Brame spoke passionately about her son’s murder, the offenders involved, their sentences, and New York’s approach to crime and punishment.
“There are individuals who have been seeking justice for years, yet have not received it,” she expressed.
Day 3 of the RNC is anticipated to center on foreign policy and national security.
