“The Conviction of Haseem Jenkins brings a measure of justice for Maria Coto — a dedicated Westchester County employee whose life was stolen in a brutal and senseless act of violence while she was performing her duty serving the people of Westchester County.
“Maria devoted her career to helping others. She deserved to come home safely. Nothing will ever fully heal the pain of this loss for her family, her friends and her colleagues in the Department of Social Services. Maria embodied the very best of public service. Our hearts remain with them, and we continue to grieve with them.”
