<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Supreme Court of New Jersey
in <u>State v. Luis Melendez</u>, reaffirmed the defendant’s right to fight
civil forfeiture proceedings while criminal charges are pending, and preventing
any statements made by the defendant in those proceedings to be used against
him in a subsequent criminal trial.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In light of this decision the

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Defendants should be advised of
the following: (1) they may wish to consult with a lawyer about how best to
proceed; (2) the State may not use any statements made in an answer to a
forfeiture complaint in its case in chief in a related criminal case; and (3)
defendants may file a motion to stay the civil forfeiture action under N.J.S.A.
2C:64-3(f). Also, the Court held that whenever practicable, the State should
also serve a courtesy copy of the forfeiture complaint on defense counsel when
a companion criminal case is pending, so that counsel can offer basic legal
advice or make a referral.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This is a good decision because a
defendant should never be asked to choose between his Fourteenth Constitutional
rights of due process over his Fifth Amendment rights during his criminal
trial.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One cautionary note, this case is
limited to evidence that the state will use in its case-in-chief, and does not
apply to if the defendant takes the witness stand and contradicts his

<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Inspector Report is finally released today which confirms
that the deep state attempted to overturn the election of Donald J. Trump
through the Carter Page phony/fake FISA application.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Buried on Pages 360-366 of the report, and Page 419 in the Appendix
we learn the following.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That the FISA application on Carter Page was “<b>Inaccurate,
Incomplete, or Undocumented Information in the FISA Applications.”<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“1. Omitted information from another U.S.
government agency detailing its prior relationship with Page, including that
Page had been approved as an operational contact for the other agency from 2008
to 2013, and that Page had provided information to the other agency concerning
his prior contacts with certain Russian intelligence officers, one of which overlapped
with facts asserted in the FISA application;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">2. Included a source characterization
statement asserting that Steele's prior reporting had been "corroborated
and used in criminal proceedings," which overstated the significance of
Steele's past reporting and was not approved by Steele's FBI handling agent, as
required by the Woods Procedures;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">3. Omitted information relevant to the
reliability of Person 1, a key Steele sub-source (who, as previously noted, was
attributed with providing the information in Report 95 and some of the
information in Reports 80 and 102 relied upon in the application), namely that
(1) Steele himself told members of the Crossfire Hurricane team that Person 1 was
a "boaster" and an "embellishment".<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">4. Asserted that the FBI had assessed that
Steele did not directly provide to the press information in the September 23 <i>Yahoo
News </i>article, based on the premise that Steele had told the FBI that he
only shared his election-related research with the FBI and Simpson; this
premise was factually incorrect (Steele had provided direct information to <i>Yahoo
News) </i>and also contradicted by documentation in the Woods File-Steele had
told the FBI that he also gave his information to the State department;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">5. Omitted Papadopoulos's statements to an
FBI CHS in September 2016 denying that anyone associated with the Trump
campaign was<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">collaborating with Russia or with outside
groups like WikiLeaks in the release of emails;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">6. Omitted Page's statements to an FBI CHS in
August 2016 that Page had "literally never met" or "said one
word to" Paul Manafort and that Manafort had not responded to any of
Page's emails; if true, those statements were in tension with claims in
Steele's Report 95 that Page was participating in a "conspiracy" with
Russia by acting as an intermediary for Manafort on behalf of the Trump
campaign; and 7. Selectively included Page's statements to an FBI CHS in
October 2016 that the FBI believed supported its theory that Page was an agent
of Russia but omitted other statements Page made, including denying<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">having met with Sechin and Divyekin, or even
knowing who Divyekin was; if true, those statements contradicted the claims in
Steele's Report 94 that Page had met secretly with Sechin and Divyekin about future
cooperation with Russia and shared derogatory information about candidate
Clinton. We found no indication that NSD officials were aware of these issues
at the<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">time they prepared or reviewed the first FISA
application. Regarding the third listed item above, the 01 Attorney who drafted
the application had received an email from Case Agent 1 before the first
application was filed containing the<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">information about Steele's
"boaster" and "embellishment" characterization of Person 1,
whom the FBI believed to be Source E in Report 95 and the source of other
allegations in the application derived from Reports 80 and 102. This information
was part of a lengthy email that included descriptions of various individuals
in Steele's source network and other information Steele provided to the Crossfire
Hurricane team in early October 2016. The 01 Attorney told us that he<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">did not recall the Crossfire Hurricane team
flagging this issue for him or that he independently made the connection
between this sub-source and Steele's characterization of Person 1 as an
embellisher. We believe Case Agent 1 should have specifically discussed with
the 01 Attorney the FBI's assessment that this subsource was Person 1 that
Steele had provided the information so that Person 1 could have assessed how
these facts might impact the FISA application. As described in Chapter Five,
Evans and the 01 Attorney told us that they would have wanted to discuss this
information internally within NSD and with the FBI and likely would have, at a
minimum, disclosed the information to the court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In the recent decision, <u>State of New Jersey v. N.T</u>. (December
4, 2019), the Appellate Division in a decision affirmed the denial of a
petitioner seeking an expungement for an endangering the welfare of a
child (Title 9, non-sexual conviction).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The denial of an expungement is pursuant
to statute, and until the New Jersey legislature amends the law, persons
convicted of these offenses are barred from obtaining an expungment of the
conviction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The decision is troubling because it also bars the expungement
of a non-sexual endangering conviction (Title 9), as well as sexual endangering convictions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In this case the defendant was intoxicated on the beach and went into
the water where she was having trouble in the water because of her
intoxication.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The prosecutor charged her
with endangering because her intoxication and her inability to swim without
assistance, caused her “child distress.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Hence, the basis of the endangering charge. (Give me a break what a frivolous
charge by the county prosecutor).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

all 1,000 grams, and ends when his possession is interrupted by a complete
dispossession or by a reduction of that quantity to less than 1,000 grams.”<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />

<b>Relentless Criminal Defense (908) 354-7006</b><br />
<b><br /></b>For 29-years experienced criminal defense attorney, Vincent J. Sanzone, Jr., Esq., has been representing defendants in criminal cases in almost every county in New Jersey. <a href="http://criminaldefensenj.com/">CriminalDefenseNJ.com</a><br />
<br />
Although no attorney can ethically make any guarantees about the final disposition of any criminal case, each prospective person seeking to hire an attorney for his or her criminal case must ask the attorney that he or she is seeking to hire the following questions.<br />
<br />
1. How many criminal jury trials has the attorney tried in his or her career?<br />
2. How many complete acquittals, not guilty verdicts,, has the attorney obtained?<br />
3. If acquittals were obtained, the type of cases and charges in which acquittals were obtained?<br />
4. Counties and judges in which the jury trials were tried?<br />
5. How many jury trials have they done in cases that are similar to yours?<br />
6. Whether they have any published appellate or supreme court opinions in the field of criminal defense in which there client was successful on appeal?<br />
<br />
If the attorney becomes evasive to any of these important questions, that attorney is not for you.<br />
<br />
Remember a prospective client should not be guided by a cheap fee. Attorney Vincent J. Sanzone recommends that if you cannot afford to hire a private experienced competent criminal defense, that you are better off attempting to obtain the services of a public defender. Also, almost every competent and experienced criminal defense attorney will charge for consultation fee. (Attorney Vincent J. Sanzone, Jr., consultation fee is $250.00 for one-hour.) Remember, the consultation fee is being charged by an experienced attorney because his time is valuable, and valuable to you in the long run. If the attorney gives free consultation, that is normally a red flag as well.<br />
<br />
Be aware that there are a lot of attorneys that are claiming that they have experience in the area of criminal defense. However, before you place your future and possible freedom in the hands of one of these lawyers, it is important that you do your homework. Also, be aware of attorneys who claim to be certified. Being certified does not mean that they can try a criminal case, only that they passed a written exam. Passing a written exam does not equate to winning at trial before a jury.<br />
<br />
Lastly, like any other professional it is important to do a google search on the attorney that you are thinking of hiring to find out whether they have any bad reviews, have been disciplined, or simply do not have the experience necessary to handle or case.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Why did the senators retain a prosecutor (Ms.
Mitchell) to question Ms. Ford, and not a competent criminal defense attorney
to cross-examine Ms. Ford?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;">As soon as I learned a few days ago that the
republican senators retained a state prosecutor to cross-examine Ms. Ford, I
knew it was a big mistake. And after watching the hearings and her performance
it is apparent that I was right.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Prosecutors are excellent with direct examination,
but most are horrible at cross-examination, because in reality with most trials
they have little opportunity and experience with cross-examining witnesses.
Cross-examination is the art and the bread and butter of CRIMINAL DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS, in which their cases rise or fall on their ability to discredit the
state's or government's witnesses. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;">The republicans with their competent legal
staffs could have framed vigorous and cutting questions, much better than
prosecutor Mitchell, who is basically only asking direct questions, which are
not exposing her inconsistencies and bias towards Judge Kavanaugh. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

<span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 16.0pt;">If I was cross-examining Ms. Ford the first
question I would ask is why in her opening statement she repeatedly called him
Mr. Kavanaugh and not Judge Kavanaugh. Further, knowing what she allegedly claims
he did to her, why did she not follow his career, or look him up, google him,
and knowing that he seat on the DC Circuit, never raised this issues with the
authorities. The little admission or omission by Ms. Ford could have opened the
door with probing questions as her level of prejudice and hatred against Judge
Kavanaugh, in which she did NOTHING ABOUT FOR 36 YEARS.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

WHAT THE MEDIA WILL NOT TELL YOU ABOUT THE BRETT KAVANAUGH ACCUSER, CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ms. Ford is a registered Democrat and is a viral supporter of killing the unborn at any stage of the pregnancy, including partial birth abortion.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ms. Ford traveled all the way from California to Washington D.C. to attend the anti-Trump Women's March on January 21, 2017, to advocate LGBTQ rights, abortion rights, identity politics and the feminist radical agenda.</div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px;">
Do we forget what Ms. Ford's heroes (and organizers of the march) yelled on the stage that day, the obscenities and outrageous remarks about the United States and our beloved President Trump.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
This woman would do or say anything to stop this devout pro-life Catholic from being confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and someday voting to stop the genocide of the unborn.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The abortion industry will do anything to continue killing the unborn, and they might be behind her directly. However, I do not think she needs any encouragement from them.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Let us hope some of our pro-life senators have the courage to cross-examine this radical pro abortion woman, and expose her for what she is, and what she really believes. That being that she hates Judge Kavanaugh for who he is, has become, what he believes,and all the things which she and her democratic party despises.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
In the court of law, motive is always relevant and never collateral.</div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">In
State v. Wright the New Jersey Supreme Court held that police cannot enter a
home or residence to search for contraband, notwithstanding that a landlord or
third-party reports to the police that they saw contraband in plain view.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">In
this case a landlord fixing a water leak, who was in the residence lawfully saw
contraband and reported it to the police.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The police without obtaining a judicial warrant searched the residence
and later arrested the occupant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">The
Supreme Court said that the police were required to obtain a judicial warrant
and in applying for the warrant use in the affidavit what the landlord saw as
their probable cause to search the residence.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">In
deciding the hire a Union County criminal defense attorney it is wise and best
practice to hire a NJ criminal attorney who is familiar with the fourth
amendment motion to suppress issues which might resolve your criminal case most
favorable to you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">Also, in a recent United States Supreme Court case in Rodriguez v. United States, our highest court held that a motorist does not have to wait for an extended period of time for a drug sniffing dog to arrive. In that case the motorist was told to wait after the motor vehicle warning had been issued for another 7-minutes until the dog had arrived. The court held that was to long and suppressed the CDS found in his motor vehicle. This holding was affirmed by the New Jersey Supreme Court.</span><br />

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">State v. Tier</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">On
May 2, 2027, the New Jersey Supreme Court recently decided in <u>State v. Tier</u>,
that a criminal defendant is not required to give the prosecutor a written
synopses of the defenses factual witnesses.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The
court held that Rule 3:13-3(b)(2)(c) only requires that the defense provide
written statements to the State only if the defense witness is interviewed by a
defense investigator and that interview was reduced to a writing, or written
signed statement of the witness.</span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The
court did rule however, that the defense was required to designate whether the
witnesses were character or factual witnesses.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">This
is a good criminal defense decision authored by Justice Timpone.</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">State v. Randolph</span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">In
another opinion authored by Justice Albin on the same day, the New Jersey
Supreme Court held in <u>State v. Randolph</u> that a defendant had reasonable
expectation of privacy in an abandoned or vacant apartment, and that the
defendant charged with a CDS charge found in that so called vacant apartment
had automatic standing to contest the warrantless search. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Supreme Court held that the trial court
was required to determine after the motion hearing as to whether the apartment
was really vacant or abandoned. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The
court also held that the trial court erred in refusing to give the “mere presence”
charge, however, the court held that in this case failing to give the charge
amounted to harmless error since the mere presence charge was charged in other
areas of the jury charge.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">This
was also a good criminal defense decision.</span><br />

Conspiracy to Distribute CDS is not similar to the substantive crime of Intent
to Distribute or accomplice liability of Intent to Distribute.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Court held that the conspiracy offense
unlike the substantive crime (or accomplice liability) is expungable.</span><br />

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/"><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Offered as a Public Service
to the Public by the Law Office of Vincent J. Sanzone, Jr., Esq.</span></span></a></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The
Appellate Division on November 14, 2016 held that Judge Marilyn C. Clark,
J.S.C. was correct in ruling that <u>N.J.S.A</u>. 2C:35-5(c) does not permit
the aggregation of two different types of drugs, which in this case was Heroin
and Cocaine for the purposes of charging the defendant with a first degree
crime.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Judge
Clarke held at the trial level, which the Appellate Division affirmed that
under the plain language of the statute and under the doctrine of lenity, the
language of N.J.S.A. 2C:35-5(a)(1) states that it is illegal to “manufacture,
distribute or dispense, a controlled dangerous <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>substance</u></b>.”<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The key
word being substance, not the plural, substances, as the prosecutor argued to
the court.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Judge Clark did however ruled
that aggregation is permitted with the same substance, sold on different dates
to reach the first degree level.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span>Further, because possession with intent to distribute different
substances do not merge is further support that Title 35 controlled dangerous
substance crimes, are crimes that must be dealt with separately.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>State v. Jordan, 235 N.J. Super. 517, 520
(App. Div. 1989).</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">In
joint prosecution for co-defendants, the jury must also decide under N.J.S.A.
2C:35-5(c), the court noted: “Where the degree of the offense for violation of
this Section depends on the quantity of the substance, the Quantity involved
shall be determined by the trier of fact... in determining the grade of the
offense, whether distribution or dispensing is to the same person or several
persons.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">This
is a good decision for the defense bar because it interprets an area of the New
Jersey Drug Law which is often misinterpreted. </span></div>

it is only temporary. No man or woman can reject truth forever.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Those who choose truth, on the other hand,

<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">In
1992, Justice Anthony Kennedy, wrote in <em><u><span style="font-family: "courier new"; margin: 0px;">Planned Parenthood vs. Casey</span></u></em><em><span style="font-family: "courier new"; margin: 0px;">, </span></em>that “at the heart of
liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence, of meaning, of
the universe, and of the mystery of human life.” </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">That is the type of disordered thinking that
can lead to the absurd judicial decision, to wit, the killing of the unborn
child for any reason based on the subjective belief of the mother that the
physical or mental wellbeing of the mother could be adversely affected.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yes, even under the absurd pretext that it
would cramp the mother’s life style. Justice Kennedy should be reminded that our founding Fathers actually believed that the right to life is given to us in the Bill of Rights by our Creator, and not by the Supreme Court.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">No
Justice Kennedy, this type of thinking leads to moral relativeness, which means
that there is no objective truth, that anyone can decide what is true, and it is
for the individual to decide what is truth, no matter how absurd and evil that
might be.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>If everything is true, as
Justice Kennedy says, there is no absolute truth.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>No Justice Kennedy there is objective moral
truth, and to turn ones back on objective moral truth will lead to the absolute
destruction of a civilized society as we know it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">There
is no question that this type of disordered thinking leads us down the road
to moral destruction.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>If we can kill the
unborn baby because an individual decides that this is not a person and has (“defined
one’s own concept of existence”), why not kill the infirmed, the mentally
handicapped or the elderly.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>For that
matter anyone that does not follow one’s own concept of existence.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">A
distorted view of the natural law as espoused by Justice Kennedy is simply a
recital of the positive law concept espoused by dictators and tyrants, who
have turned their backs on God and the natural law.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>History has gave us a multitude of tyrants and evil
dictators, especially in the 20<sup>th</sup> Century who decided who was a
person, and who was worth of having the protection of the state.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Wasn’t it Adolph Hitler who decides that
people of the Jewish faith were none person, worthy to be only to be murdered
by the State.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Where
does such disordered thinking end.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>If
our judges of the highest court in the United States ascribe to such nonsense
is anyone safe? <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>What has the sexual
revolution brought us but the seeing of another, not being of beauty made in
the likeness and </span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">imagine
of God, but rather an object to be used and sometimes sadly even abused. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Equally
troubling is the dictatorship of the followers of this post-pagan hearses.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>These proponents of such disordered thinking
will not hesitate to demonize anyone who will not follow and subscribe to this
type of pagan and destructive t</span><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">hinking.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>They falsely label themselves as progressives
and people of acceptance and inclusion, but in reality they are the ones who in
the end will force all of us to accept, or be eliminated, if their “concept of
existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life,” is not accepted. The dictatorship of moral relativism is
already upon us and few of us even know what is happening. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">In
a true democracy it is not so much as what we can do, but what we ought to
do.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>When we fail to do what is “right
and justice” there can be no real true freedom.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">This
blog is being prepared as a public service by the <a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/" target="_blank">Attorney Vincent J. Sanzone,Jr.</a>, and is not meant for specific legal advice.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In the event that you are charged with a
crime, disorderly persons offense or misdemeanor you are directed to seek the
legal advice of an experienced and acknowledgeable <a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/" target="_blank">New Jersey criminal defenseattorney.</a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Often
it is asked what makes a good criminal defense trial lawyer, and what does it take to
convince a judge or jury that your client is innocent, or that state or
government has presented a case with reasonable doubt in which the law requires
an acquittal, or a finding of not guilty.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">The
first thing that the attorney must be is real, when I say real, I mean that you must present yourself to a judge and jury in such a way, that judge or jury
perceives the attorney as actually believing in his client’s innocence, or in
the alternative that the reasonable doubt is in fact real and present and that
it would be a miscarriage of justice to render a verdict of guilty on the facts
presented by the prosecutor. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">How
can a judge or jury give the benefit of doubt, which is reasonable doubt to the
defendant, if the attorney who knowns the defendant best, acts and speaks as if
he could care less about the outcome, and is only going through the motions.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yes emotions do count, and most people in
fact live most of their life through emotional responses.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Few people look at things totally
analytically and logically.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Yes jurors
and judges are no different.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Passion and
dedication do matter, and attorneys who fail to dig down deep to their core
being will not be able to convince the jury of their client’s side of the story.<span style="margin: 0px;"> Yes every defendant needs their side of the story to be told, and it is only his or her attorney that can do that through opening statements, cross-examination, presenting of defense witnesses and summations. </span>Yes a true criminal defense
attorney who wins cases will have three things at his disposable, mind, heart
and soul.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Quote of the Day </span></b></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0px;">Philosophy
and theology are blueprints for life which can tell us right from wrong.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Although most people wrongly think that
science and history can do just that, to wit, give us a moral framework which
it cannot.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>A hammer (science) can help
you to build a church (history), but the hammer can’t tell you want the church
should look like or what message will be taught in the church. Only when we
adhere to solid moral teaching can we be assured of not repeating history and
making the same awful mistakes.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">New
Jersey Supreme Court breaks new ground and essentially overrules <u>State v.
Odom</u>, which was a virtual killer for criminal defendants going to trial for
intent to distribute CDS case.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Under
<u>State v. Odom</u>, prosecutor’s used so-called law enforcement experts to
give opinions before the jury that the method of packaging, purity and
quantity, among other things, of the CDS found, was consistent with possession
with intent to distribute, and not for personal use.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Finally,
our Supreme Court has ruled that such statements by prosecution witnesses
encourages upon the ultimate issue of the guilt of the defendant, is highly
prejudicial and no longer permissible.
New Jersey now follows similar rulings in Florida, Connecticut and New
York.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Cain case originated out of Bergen County, in which a Hackensack Police
Detective testified as that the Marijuana recovered at the defendant’s
residence was with the intent to distribute.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
Court also frowned on the prosecutor’s repeated reference to the fact that the
CDS drugs were seized after a judicial search warrant on the defendant’s
residence. Although the court did not issue its reversal of the defendant’s
conviction on that basis because it reversed on the expert opinion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
you are charged with a drug offense your choice of a criminal defense attorney

<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">Like all areas of the law the handling of motor

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This blog is being presented as a public service and for
informational purposes by the </span><a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/"><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">Law Office
of Vincent J. Sanzone, Jr.</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Telephone Number (908) 354-7006<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In 26-years of practicing criminal defense in the State of New
Jersey it continually shocks me as to how many fabricated resisting arrest
charges are filed on suspects who have not resisted arrest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These false charges by police officers seem
to be a routine standard charge that is filed against all suspects that the cop
does not seem to like.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, this
charge will always be falsely lodged after the cop uses excessive forces, or
beats up the suspect during the arrest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is done to justify the beating of the innocent suspect, and as
false justification for the beating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
Elizabeth, New Jersey Police Department, among others, are notorious for such
charges, especially when the cop is looking for some downtime-vacation by
saying he hurt is back to take off a couple of weeks in the summer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">It is often difficult to defend against such false charges
because it is the word of the defendant against the word of the police
officers, and most judges and juries, have no idea that some law enforcement
people engage in such abhorrent tactics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Sometimes the only way to defend such charges is to hope that somehow
the incident was recorded.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even with a
video which clearly shows that the defendant was not resisting most judges will
not dismiss the case but leave it to the jury to decide. That is why cities
such as Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson, Jersey City, Orange, East Orange,
Plainfield, refuse to install MVR video cameras in their patrol vehicles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">As written in a previous blog many cops knowing that they are
being video recorded by an MVR tape, (motor vehicle recorded video) will
continually yell out “stop resisting” to the defendant, even though he is not
resisting, just so the cop creates a false record (show for later use) that the
cop is trying to stop the defendant from resisting. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">However, a recently decided unpublished opinion decided on April
13, 2016, <u>State v. Pavan Patel</u>, give some hope to defendants charged
with this offense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this case the
defendant was charged with resisting arrest after the defendant was unjustly
assaulted by security guards at an Atlantic City casino.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The officer seeing the assault took the side
of the security guard and started wrestling with the defendant attempting to
put him under arrest. However, in this case the defendant was never told that
he was under arrest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though the
municipal court and law division found the defendant guilty, the appellate
division reversed in a good well written decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In this case there was no question that the arrest was unlawful,
however, even an unlawful arrest can result in a conviction for resisting
arrest, if the suspect gives resistance to being handcuffed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>State v. Branch</u>, 301 N.J. Super, 307,
321 (App. Div. 1997) However, it must be noted that the defendant might be
justified in resisting arrest, and defend himself, if the police are using
excessive force.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>State v. Mulvihill</u>,
57 N.J. 151, 156-57 (1970).<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">However, if the arrest is unlawful, as was in the Patel case, if
the officer does not announce the intention to arrest, than the conviction
cannot stand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>State v. Kane</u>, 303
N.J. Super. 167, 182 (App. Div. 1997).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The defense to resisting arrest is not an affirmative defense but an
ordinary defense as stated by the decision in <u>Patel</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Accordingly, the State, not the defense, has
the burden of disproving the defense. N.J.S.A. 2C:1-13(b); <u>State v. Moultrie</u>,
357 N.J. Super. 547, 555-56 (App. Div. 2003)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The appellate division reversed the conviction by holding that
mere actions of the police officer that he was engaged in an attempted arrest
was insufficient and therefore the conviction could not stand.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/" target="_blank">Offered as a Public Service by the Law Office of Vincent J. Sanzone, Jr, Esq.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">N.J.S.A. 2C:28-5, Witness tempering states in subsection (a) Tampering. A person commits an offense if, believing that an official proceeding or investigation is pending or about to be instituted or has been instituted, he knowingly engages in conduct which a reasonable person would believe would cause a witness or informant to: (1) Testify or inform falsely; (2) Withhold any testimony, information, document or thing; (3) Elude legal process summing him to testify or supply evidence; (4) Absent himself from any proceeding or investigation to which he has been legally summoned; or (5) Otherwise obstruct, delay, prevent or impede an official proceeding or investigation. Depending on the factors, a violation is a crime of the first degree (if the tampering involves a crime in which an 85% sentence could be imposed, a crime of the second degree if violence was used, otherwise it is a crime of the third degree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">As one can see from reading this statute the language of the law is extremely broad, vague, and subjective. Does this law deter a defendant, his attorney, or his investigator from seeking out witnesses to prove his innocence? Such a law would seem to have a chilling effect on the search for truth by the accused, fearing that any contact by the defense with any alleged victim/witness or witness could be construed to amount to a violation of the statute.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">Could such activity be considered by law enforcement, if they wanted to be unfair and aggressive charge a defendant with witness tempering for actions which are in fact legal and do not amount to witness tampering? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">In fact, in one particular case in which </span><b><span color="#0563c1" style="color: #0563c1;">Attorney Sanzone</span></b><span color="#000000" style="color: black;"> handled in Ocean County, the Ocean County Prosecutor did such a thing. In this case the defendant was charged with burglary. A witness at the scene (an employee of the suspect/defendant) told the police at the scene that his employer (suspect/defendant) did not enter the house. Not satisfied with the witnesses’ response, and animosity toward the suspect, the Toms River police on the scene told the witnesses that if he did not give an official sworn statement that the suspect/defendant entered the house that the witness would be arrested as an accomplice. Afraid the witness went to police headquarters and gave a sworn statement saying that his employer entered the house. A few days later, the witness having remorse that he allowed the police to intimate him in lying for the police, wrote a certified letter to the police chief stating that he wanted to retract his statement, was intimated at the scene and wanted to give a truthful statement that in fact his employer did not enter the house. A week later not having heard a response the witness sent another letter. A week later the two detectives from the Toms River Police Department appeared at his home around 11:30 P.M. without notice. Angry, the two detectives again threatened the witness telling him to if he did not stick to his original story that the witness would be arrested for filing a false police report. If that was not enough the police told the witness to say that his employer/defendant told him to write the retraction letter, and if the witness did not he would be arrested. Unfortunately, for the two detectives, the witness had audio recorded the detectives suborning perjury, committing official misconduct, and engaging themselves in witnesses tampering. The defendant a few days later sent a copy of the audio tape to the Toms River Police Department and Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">Amazingly, even though the Ocean County Prosecutor had possession of the audio tape in which the detectives committed witness tampering, they nonetheless indicted the employer/defendant for witness tampering. Four years later, and two days before jury selections, the Ocean County Prosecutor dismissed the witness tampering charge. The defendant went on trial in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Ocean County for second degree burglary represented by </span><b><span color="#0563c1" style="color: #0563c1;">Attorney Sanzone</span></b><span color="#000000" style="color: black;">. <b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jury acquitted defendant of all charges. </span></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;"><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span color="#000000" style="color: black;">Yes this is a true story and court records are public and well documented. This unfortunately is what can happen with the witness tampering law. Sadly, the two Toms River Police Department detectives were never prosecuted by the Ocean County Prosecutor, admonished, or disciplined by Toms River Police Department for their gross violation of law and official misconduct. Beware. </span></div>

Simms</span></u><span style="font-family: "courier new";">, decided March 15,
2016 by New Jersey Supreme Court.<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">In this case the
prosecutor presented the testimony of Detective<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>Lockett of the Atlantic County Prosecutor’s Office as an expert
“in the field of narcotics use and distribution as well as the accompanying
aspects of narcotics distribution.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">At trial the prosecutor
posed a lengthy hypothetical question to the detective which included the
assumed fact that Detective Ruzzo actually observed defendant hand a buyer ten
packets of heroin for cash. That assumed fact, however, was not based on
Ruzzo’s testimony, because the detective observed only an unidentified object
in defendant’s hands. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The expert also
testified that the co-defendant conspired with defendant to distribute drugs,
which was another way of saying that defendant conspired with the co-defendant.
Defendant did not object to the hypothetical question or to the response, and
he did not present any witnesses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;">The jury convicted defendant of possession of heroin, possession
of heroin with the intent to distribute, however, the New Jersey Court reversed
holding that well established case law holds that ultimate questions of guilt
or innocence is for the jury to decide and not the state’s so-called
expert.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, it was
impermissible for the so-called expert to testify to facts, i.e., that the detective
saw Heroin being transferred since this was not a fact that was even in
evidence.</span></div>
<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<div class="Default" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; line-height: 107%;">In defending a CDS/narcotics case it is important to know what evidence offered by the prosecutor is objectionable. An experienced criminal defense attorney would have known that this type of testimony is inadmissible.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">It is well settled that and common knowledge that
anyone arrested has the legal right not to speak to anyone, until he or she
consults with a </span><a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">criminal defense attorney</span></span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><u>Miranda v. Arizona</u>, 384 U.S. 436 (1964)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">What is not well known, however, is that the federal
authorities must promptly bring the arrested person before a magistrate or
district court judge within six-hours of the arrest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">Pursuant to 18 <u>U.S.C</u>. Section 3501(c), a
person arrested by federal authorities must be brought before a judicial
officer<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>within six-hours (with some
flexibility for distance, transportation and availability of Judge) of the
arrest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">In the Supreme Court case, <u>Corley v. United
States</u>, 556 U.S. 303 (2009) our Supreme Court held that a 29-hour delay was
unacceptable and that the confession made during that period was inadmissible. In
<u>McNabb v. United States</u>, 318 U.S. 332 (1943); <u>Mallory v. United
States</u> 354 U.S. 449 (1957), it was established that a confession which
violates the prompt presentment requirement of <u>F.R.C.P</u>. 5(a) generally
renders said confession inadmissible, even if the confession was made
voluntarily.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;">If you have been arrested or charged with a federal
crime you should immediately consult and </span><a href="http://www.criminaldefensenj.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #0563c1;">retain an experienced federal district court

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">On April 19, 2016, the law in New Jersey will
radically change its expungement law allowing most non-violent felonies to be
expunged after waiting five-years after released from incarceration or
completion of probation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> However, the public interest standard still applies, and this is still at the discretion of the judge.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">Without a public interest need the petitioner will still have to wait 10-years, after his or her release from jail or completion of probation which ever comes last.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">Disorderly person’s offenses (or municipal court
cases) the waiting period has been reduced from 5-years to 3-years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, the new law allows certain people to
expunge their successful completion of the drug court program, and the
underlying conviction which facilitated their participation in the program.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">Lastly, the new law allows judges to immediate
expunged and seal all records regarding cases in which the defendant was a
victim of identity theft.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would
also apply to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) which must seal and expunge
all division of motor vehicle records in which the motorist received the charge
because his or her I.D. was stolen or forged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In addition, the prosecutor can petition the court with the request of
his or her criminal defense attorney, to rule that the defendant or motorist,
was in fact, “factually innocent.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new"; font-size: 12pt;">It is
important to note that there is no waiting period for the sealing of these
records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is important to note that
the expungement process can be complicated, and you are urged to consult an
experienced criminal defense attorney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
