State v. Bennie Anderson (084365) (Mercer County & Statewide)

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the summary‑judgment forfeiture of Bennie Anderson’s public pension, holding that the statutory forfeiture under N.J.S.A. 43:1‑3.1 is not a “fine” for purposes of the Eighth Amendment or the State Constitution’s excessive‑fines clause, and therefore did not reach a proportionality analysis.
