4. Recent court cases: Resisting arrest does not require risk of substantial injury. State v. Brannon __ NJ __ A-96 ( 2004).
Based on the legislative history and text of N.J.S.A. 2C:29-2a(3)(a), the "physical force or violence" necessary for a third degree resisting arrest conviction need not include a substantial risk of causing physical injury to police officers or others. Source: New Jersey Lawyer March 15, 2004 p. 16
5. Judge must advise DWI defendant of the range of punishments prior to plea. Iowa v. Tovar __ US __ 02-1541 (U.S. Supreme Court, Decided March 8, 2004).
The Sixth Amendment is satisfied when the trial court informs the accused of the nature of the charges against him, of his right to be counseled regarding his plea, and of the range of allowable punishments attendant on the entry of a guilty plea. Source: 175 N.J.L.J. 1376
6. The Hand Delivery of This Letter To Ex-Wife Is Not 'Harassment'. Bresocnik v. Gallegos 367 NJ Super. 178 (App. Div. 2004).
Having a letter hand-delivered to a former spouse at her place of employment, an elementary school, does not constitute harassment within the meaning of N.J.S.A. 2C:33-4(a). The content of the letter was legally innocuous. The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act is not intended to interdict all forms of unpleasant exchanges between parties. Its serious and laudable purposes should not be trivialized.
