View this case - free  

Overview: Denial of an officer's application for an accidental disability pension under the "traumatic event" test of N.J.S.A. § 43:16A-7 was affirmed because it was supported by substantial evidence, not arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable, and reflected a respectable application of applicable standards, but a re-evaluation of the standard was advocated.

View this case - free  

Overview: The denial of an accidental disability pension under the prevailing test for "traumatic event," in N.J.S.A. § 43:15A-43, was reversed because it lacked substantial support in essentially uncontradicted facts and because conclusions in applying legislative policies to the facts were reached that could not reasonably have been drawn from the record.

View this case - free  

Overview: Neither collateral estoppel nor fundamental fairness barred defendant's criminal prosecution for the same events as to which a family court denied a final restraining order and dismissed a complaint under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, N.J.S.A. §§ 2C:25-1 to -35 because the family court's findings did not bar an indictment or prosecution.

State v. Means, A-21 September Term 2006, SUPREME COURT OF NEW JERSEY, July 11, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court erred by setting aside a plea agreement solely because the prosecutor failed to notify the victims prior to entering into the plea agreement.

View this case - free  

Overview: The Board of Trustees of the Public Employees' Retirement System improperly ordered a retiree to repay her disability benefits because it wrongly rejected an ALJ's credibility findings, under N.J.S.A. 52:14B-10(c), and gave inadequate weight to the retiree's reliance on misinformation substantially consistent with the responsible agency's pamphlet.

State v. Marolda, DOCKET NO. A-2400-05T1, SUPERIOR COURT OF NEW JERSEY, APPELLATE DIVISION, July 12, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: An aerial surveillance of defendant's cornfield was admissible, under the Fourth Amendment or N.J. Const. art. I, para. 7, because the open fields doctrine was applied, so the field was not constitutionally protected, and it was not intimately tied to defendant's home, so no reasonable privacy expectation within the home's curtilage was invaded.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's resistance and flight, which amounted to obstruction, in violation of N.J.S.A. § 2C:29-1, broke the link in the chain between an initial unconstitutional investigatory stop and the later seizure of a handgun from his person, therefore, suppression of the evidence of the handgun was not warranted by the exclusionary rule.
