From Go Magazine’s “100 Women We Love”:
Her track record would make any guilty defendant tremble. Dafna Yoran, Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan has investigated and prosecuted scores of the city’s most high profile and notorious homicides. Dafna’s commitment to holding killers accountable is fueled by a sense of responsibility as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, with grandparents murdered by Nazis. In 2019, she had the opportunity to prosecute Neo Nazi James Harris Jackson, a Hitler fan who said he came to NYC with the intention of killing Black men, and murdered Timothy Caughman. It was the first time a white supremacist was prosecuted as a domestic terrorist in the U.S. “This prosecution closed a circle for me: I got to hold a Nazi accountable for killing an innocent person,” the Senior Trial Counsel says. But her idea of holding people accountable doesn’t necessarily mean prison time. When she prosecuted Matthew Lee for inadvertently killing an elderly professor while robbing him at an ATM, she felt that “a long prison sentence was not appropriate under these circumstances and determined to resolve the case in a different way.” In collaboration with the victim’s family who “got to see the defendant as a human being, not the monster they imagined,” she successfully spearheaded the first Restorative Justice case in a NYC homicide. Yoran, wife of Peruvian artist Ana De Orbegoso, began her career at a time when the unspoken rule was “women had to wear skirts in court.” Yoran said to her boss, “Do you want me to wear a skirt or do you want me to think, because I can’t do both at the same time! I was then the first woman to wear a pants suit on trial in New York County.”
Another bio of hers from the Film Forum carries the same theme:
“In 2019, [Dafna Yoran] gave a reduced sentence to a black man who murdered an Asian college professor as he was withdrawing cash from an ATM,” Greg Price commented on X. “She said that it was under the guise of ‘restorative justice’ and ended up giving him 10 years for manslaughter after he was originally charged with murder.”
