Sex Crimes
Expungement are generally available to those who have committed no more than one felony crime or two misdemeanor offenses in the past but have lived as law abiding citizens in the years since. Certain crimes cannot be expunged from the record. Those include committing or attempting to commit murder, rape, sex crimes involving children, robbery, perjury, arson, driving under the influence, and offenses by public officials. One who has been convicted of aiding another in the commission of any of those crimes is likewise barred from expunging that offense from their record. Most offenses involving the sale of drugs are also ineligible for expungement. The most notable exception is possession of marijuana with intent to sell, if the quantity was 25 grams or less. Those whose drug offenses occurred prior to the age of 21 also may be able to get an expungement through special procedures established for youthful offenders. The law imposes a waiting period between completion of the sentence for an expungeable offense and the time when the offender may commence the expungement process. The waiting period is 10 years for felonies, five years for misdemeanors, and five years for juvenile adjudications, unless a juvenile offense was equivalent to an adult crime that could not be expunged. Those with drug offenses committed when they were under 21 in many cases can have their record expunged in two years. Records of an offense that was dismissed following successful completion of a diversion program can be erased from the record in as little as six months after the underlying case was closed. The waiting periods begin to run on the day that the judge imposed sentence or the petitioner finished paying off any fines or completed a sentence of incarceration, probation or parole, whichever comes last. As the extensive list of records that can be encompassed by an expungement order suggests, the procedure could benefit many who may not think they need it, for example, those have been arrested in a case in which charges were ultimately dropped, or those who were picked up on a minor drug possession offense in a case that resulted in a conditional discharge after completion of a diversion program. An expungement would prevent prior indiscretions of that sort from showing up years later in a criminal background check of police records. While offenders with multiple convictions on their record are ineligible for an expungement, there is no limit in the law on how many expungement one may obtain. However, the judge who hears the petition for an expungement is required to take a number of factors into account in determining whether a petitioner is deserving of relief, including whether previous offense have been expunged. The legislature has directed courts to pay especially close attention to whether successive offenses indicate that the applicant hasn’t truly moved away from the bad habits that have led to encounters with the criminal justice system in the past.

Assault
TRENTON – Jurors yesterday acquitted a Burlington County man charged with attempted murder in the Jan. 2009 stabbing of his daughters boyfriend. Ray Marks, Sr., 54, of Mount Laurel was also found not guilty of aggravated assault and weapons offenses in the stabbing of 60 year old Wilbert Harrington during an argument on West State Street in Trenton. It took jurors just under two days of dilberations to acquit Marks after a four-day trial. During the trial Marks’ daughter – who married Harrington after the stabbing – testified as a witness for the State. Prosecutor’s said Marks stabbed Harrington after Harrington shoved Marks’ daughter during an altercation that occurred while Marks was moving from his apartment. Defense attorney Raymond Staub of Destribats Campbell, argued that after Harrington shoved the woman, he attacked Marks. Staub said Marks stabbed Harrington in self defense, using a knife he was carrying for moving purposes. “I think the jury made the right call,” Staub said. “My client will now try to heal his family. At least he can put this part behind him.” Staub said he will petition to reinstate Marks’ nursing license, which was suspended after he was charged. Marks stood trial with his son, Ray Marks, Jr., who was charged with aggravated assault for allegedly hitting Harrington during the incident. After the state rested its case, defense attorney Jeff Broderick won a motion to have the indictment against the younger Marks dismissed.
Murder
A 52-year-old Trenton man hugged his defense lawyer and wiped tears from his eyes after a jury acquitted him of attempted murder and other charges on Thursday. John Paul Jones, of Bellevue Avenue, had been charged after a fight with another man after a cabaret at a Ewing firehouse on April 2, 2006. Both men had been drinking before the altercation. The victim, Robert Wynn, 40, of Ewing admitted that he swore at Jones and threw the first punch. Wynn, who was stabbed in the heart, stomach and neck, almost died, according to testimony from an emergency room doctor. "Thank God it's over," Jones said, after the verdict. The five-man, seven-woman jury deliberated for about three hours over two days before reaching its verdict. Superior Court Judge Thomas Kelly told Jones that he was free to go. His lawyer, Raymond C. Staub, who argued that his client had acted in self-defense, said, "I'm very happy for Mr. Jones. I think the jury system works and this proves it. I think they had a tough case to decide and ultimately, this was the right decision. I'm thrilled for Mr. Jones and his family." Assistant Prosecutor Jeffrey Rubin said he accepts the jury's decision.

Kidnapping
Manslaughter
A Ewing man accused of killing another man with a single punch during a dispute outside Pat’s Diner in 2010 was found not guilty of manslaughter this afternoon. Brian Richardson, 43, hit Jamie Gustavo Gomez in the face after an argument escalated outside the diner in Trenton on Nov. 21, 2010, prosecutors said. Gomez's head hit the ground and he later died of his injuries. Richardson's attorney Raymond Staub argued during the trial that his client was defending himself and defended his family. “I think the jury could feel the fear," Staub said this afternoon. "He was in a parking lot, he was surrounded. My client tried to retreat in every way,” I think the jury identified with being in a situation when you are outnumbered. We all have the right to defend ourselves. That’s the essence of self defense,” he said. The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office, which prosecuted the case, did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Though much of the evidence was surveillance camera footage inside and outside the diner, Staub and Middlesex Assistant Prosecutor Douglas Herring presented different accounts of the events that led to Gomez's death. In his closing arguments yesterday, Herring said Richardson did not set out to kill someone that night, but it was his reckless actions that led to Gomez's death, which was reason enough to convict him of manslaughter. The Middlesex prosecutor handled the case because Richardson's wife was an employee at the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office, a spokeswoman for the office said.
