As a kid one of my high lights was to sit in the Metuchen First Aid ambulance and hit the siren as we rode in the Metuchen Memorial Day parade. Dad was selected as Man of the Year by the Metuchen Jaycees for his volunteer work. Dad and mom traveled to Scranton while I was in college to see Mike Brennan and I win a race for the University of Scranton Varsity Cross-Country team. We enjoyed every Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day at their Poconos Lake house for 28 years. Now on Father’s Day we enjoy swimming at their Active Adult Community Pool South Knolls in Jackson.

Marrucca and Liam S. Clark. The state argued the motion court misapplied the Supreme Court's holding in State v. Smart, 253 N.J. 156 (2023), and erroneously found the circumstances giving rise to probable cause to search the car were "foreseeable," thereby "effectively eliminating" New Jersey’s automobile exception to the warrant requirement. The Appellate Division reversed the trial court and remanded for further proceedings.  Unreported  Source Daily Briefing - 3/9/26  Full opinion at Criminal Law- Recent Cases Vercammen Law   https://njcriminallaw.blogspot.com/2026/04/sup-mt-reversed-where-circumstances.html State of New Jersey vs. Nicholas S.
