New Strict Liability Vehicular Homicide Law

N.J.S.A. 2C:11-5.3 codifies a new strict liability vehicular homicide statute that was approved on July 21, 2017. Criminal homicide now constitutes strict liability vehicular homicide, as opposed to negligent homicide, when it is caused by a driver while intoxicated or operating a vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Strict liability vehicular homicide is […]

Drug Court Expungements & The Public Interest: Part 4

The substitute also proposed to abolish the dual pathways to expungement under Chapter 52 – in which a person was presumptively entitled to expungement of an indictable offense after ten years, and eligible for expungement after as few as five years upon a public interest showing. Instead, persons would be presumptively entitled to expungement after […]

Drug Court Expungements & The Public Interest: Part 2

We add that the public interest showing, based on the statute’s plain language, pertains only to convictions described in N.J.S.A. 2C:52-2(c)(3). If the person meets the public interest test regarding an identified third- or fourth-degree conviction, then his or her records do not include a conviction “barred from expungement” under N.J.S.A. 2C:52-2(b) or -2(c). The […]
