    A mother whose Army veteran son was murdered in the Big Apple slammed Manhattan’s Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg at the Republican National Convention Tuesday for releasing the “homicidal maniacs” that killed her son.

    “He received enemy fire from the Taliban only to be murdered by a knife in New York City,” Madeline Brame said of her son, the late Sgt. Hason Correa.

    Brame said the group of individuals responsible for her son’s death were “initially facing justice” but that “changed when District Attorney Alvin Bragg was elected.”

    Her son, a 35-year-old Afghanistan war veteran, was fatally beaten and stabbed by a group of four people during a scuffle outside a Harlem apartment building six years ago.

    Brame railed against what she called Bragg’s “soft-on-crime” approach.

    “Two of the homicidal maniacs responsible for my son’s death had their gang assault and murder charges completely dismissed,” she said.

    “Alvin Bragg charged her with assault with a shoe,” she raged, referring to one of Correa’s assailants.

    In 2022, the Manhattan DA’s office downgraded and dismissed charges against two of the four offenders — Christopher Saunders, James Saunders, Mary Saunders and Travis Stewart — responsible for the deadly attack.

    Christopher and James Saunders were both convicted for the gang assault and are serving 20-year sentences in prison, while Travis Stewart was sentenced to seven years in prison for the same charge.

    Mary Saunders was released from prison in May 2022 on time served after spending 14 months at Rikers Island.

    Brame has claimed in the past that Bragg’s office treated her and her family “like garbage” as it prosecuted her son’s attackers.

    “He wants to clear the jails and return violent felons back to the street every day,” Brame said of Bragg in her remarks at the Fiserv Forum, where former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, listened from a VIP box.

    Bragg famously brought the hush money case against Trump in Manhattan, for which the former president was found guilty of 34 felony counts earlier this year.

    Trump, 78, is awaiting sentencing in the hush money case.

    Brame has claimed in the past that Bragg’s office treated her and her family “like garbage” as it prosecuted her son’s attackers.

    Brame called Trump a “victim of the same corrupt system” that she’s been dealing with.

    “Donald Trump shares our values,” Brame said.

    “Love of God, family and country.”
