Case Analytica is a free news site on New York’s criminal justice system. It reports how the law works at each stage of a case, from arrest and arraignment through sentencing, prison, parole and record sealing, and whether the state follows its own rules. It checks every legal claim on the site against the statute it describes and links to the source.

It is written for the people who live inside the system and are least often written for: people with open cases, people in custody and on parole, and their families. Since July 2026 it has published 84 articles, along with a parole data record built from the state’s reports.

Case Analytica is reported and written by Dean Mustaphalli, who served time in New York State prison and won his own parole board appeal and came home in December 2023. It is fiscally sponsored by the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation.
