Dear Potatank,
My client, "J" as I like to call him was indicted for the murder of 12 year old Genesis Rincon.
Shortly after his turning himself in on that matter, he was,, while sitting in jail, indicted on another, separate murder case.
Thus, he has 2 current, pending Murder indictments.
I've been screaming for a trial but the system is not in a hurry to hear justice.
J has been offered a plea deal in which the State would kindly recommend "40 Years" on each case. Laughable.
The punishment for Murder in New Jersey is 30 years minimum with a maximum of Life. The sentence carries an 85% Parole Disqualifier,
meaning you must serve 85% of your sentence before you can even be considered for parole.
J will turn 21 years old this November. Few people live for 40 years in state prison. Trust me, you just don't read about it.
