On January 16, 2019, the New Jersey Supreme court decided the Middlesex County case of State v. Guillermo Santamaria. Justice Timpone wrote for a unanimous court.

In cases like these, the high […]

Search Warrants and Warrantless Conduct (Part 4)

The Court continued in relevant part: On a motion to suppress evidence for which a warrant was obtained, the trial court’s review is limited to the information contained within the four corners of the supporting affidavit, as supplemented by sworn testimony before the issuing judge that is recorded contemporaneously.

Search Warrants and Warrantless Conduct (Part 3)

Justice Timpone continued in relevant part: Search warrants are prospective in nature—they authorize the taking of action. A later-obtained search warrant does not retroactively validate preceding warrantless conduct that is challenged through a suppression motion focused on the legitimacy of the seizure that gave rise to a later search. The State must bear the burden […]

Search Warrants and Warrantless Conduct (Part 2)

Standard For Drug Court Expungements

On January 8, 2019, the New Jersey Supreme Court decided the case of IMO the Expungement of the Arrest/Charge Records of T.B., J.N.-T. & R.C.

Sexual Assaults and Restraining Orders (Part 4)

The appellate panel continued: In a similar context, in D.C. v. F.R., we concluded the PDVA applied prospectively, not retroactively. In 1994, the PDVA’s definition of “victim of domestic violence” was expanded to include persons subjected to violence by persons he or she dated. Id. at 597. D.C. involved domestic violence that occurred in 1993 […]

Sexual Assaults and Restraining Orders (Part 3)

The Court continued: Thus, SASPA protects victims of unwanted sexual contact or lewd acts or attempts to commit the same. A person cannot seek protection against words, threats, or sexual harassment alone under SASPA. Here, the trial court found plaintiff’s account credible and defendant admitted speaking to her. It is clear plaintiff felt threatened by […]
