State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Jerome Bender, R. P., Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded the case, holding that the prosecutor's denial of pre‑trial intervention was not a patent and gross abuse of discretion sufficient to invalidate, and that the defendant's conduct does not constitute a continuing criminal enterprise or a breach of the public trust under the PTI Guidelines.
