After Cyrus Vance Jr. was elected to Manhattan DA, his campaign issued a press release noting a 30+ person transition team, made up of other lawyers, union leaders, and others. The Daily News notes the inclusion of Rev. Dr. C. Vernon Mason, best known for advising Tawana Brawley. Mason, who even ran against Manhattan DA Robert Morgenthau in 1985, was eventually disbarred for "mistreating poor clients" in 1995; he's currently a deacon at the Abyssinian Baptist church and a NY Theological Seminary faculty member. Vance's team said, "C. Vernon Mason is a well-respected clergy member who cares deeply about his community and the criminal justice issues faced by youth and adults."

This guy is a racist scumbag that ruined the lives of completely innocent people.
The Tawana Brawley scandal aside, this guy used his fame to get poor black clients for routine legal insurance work. He was disbarred for regularly neglecting legal deadlines and ruining his clients' cases by doing nothing. He didn't file the paperwork and ignored clients' phone calls. Why a new DA would want a person like that on his team is beyond me.
And this is why you should have voted. Yes, I'm talking to YOU.
"Why a new DA would want a person like that on his team is beyond me."
Because we don't have enough corruption here. Didn't you get the memo?

Mason was a lazy, incompetent lawyer who lost easy money.
Good corruption crews are filled with earners.

You're right. Must be an affirmative action thing,..
