Greetings Kenneth Vercammen,

Recent Important Cases...
1. Improper Cross-examination by Municipal Prosecutor and Judge can Require Retrial before Different Judge. State v. Wang (App. Div.) 14-2-2508 Unpublished.
Because the cross-examination of defendant regarding her Nevada driver's license and the lack of proper record keeping at the Therapy Center was improper because the evidence lacked any relevancy to the prostitution charge, and because its use
to attack defendant's credibility ran afoul of N.J.R.E. 607, 608, and 404, and the evidence was relied upon by the municipal and Law Division judges in assessing credibility, defendant's conviction for prostitution is reversed and the matter is remanded for
retrial before a different municipal court judge.

2. Alcotest Operator Must Observe Defendant for 20 Minutes. State v Nucifora (Law Div. Camden) Unpublished.
This important unpublished case held that the Supreme Court in Chun meant exactly what it said when it directed that "the operator must observe the test subject for required 20 minute{s}", that this was not dicta, and that it does not allow for
observation by other officers. The appeal was raised in the context of a Chun stayed case and stands for the proposition that if a good faith 20 min issue was raised at the time of a Chun stayed plea, the issue is sufficient to reopen the matter.

3. Telephonic Search Warrants Approved. State v. Juan Pena-Flores 198 NJ 6 (2009)
The Supreme Court affirms its longstanding precedent that permits an automobile search without a warrant only in cases in which the police have both probable cause to believe that the vehicle contains evidence and exigent circumstances that would
justify dispensing with the warrant requirement. Whether exigent circumstances exist is to be decided on a case-by-case basis with the focus on police safety and the preservation of evidence. The Court also determines that a warrant obtained
by telephonic or electronic means is the equivalent of an in-person warrant and does not require proof of exigent circumstances. Also State v. Charles Fuller (A-15-07)

6. If You Are In A Slip & Fall Accident, We Can Help.
Next to car accidents, the most common type of accident is a slip and fall. If you are hurt in a slip and fall accident, you have rights, including the right to compensation for your injuries. You may have this right even if you are partly at fault for the
accident.
If you are injured in a slip and fall accident, please call us. We have helped many victims of slip and fall accidents recover the maximum compensation for their injuries and losses, and we can help you. Call promptly, as the time right after the accident
can be vital to your claim.
