“From our analysis of the city’s records, it seems that nearly everyone’s release was delayed over three hours,” said Debbie Greenberger, an attorney with law firm Emery, Celli, Brinckerhoff, Abady, Ward and Maazel. The reasons for the delays in releasing people, according to the suit, include malfunctioning computers and fax machines, unavailable staff and detainees prematurely transferred from court to jail for prolonged processing before bail payments were accepted.
