🚨 Understanding Warrant vs. Summons Complaints in New Jersey 🚨 In this video, BLG partner Robert Bianchi, Esq. discusses the critical differences between a warrant and a summons complaint in New Jersey. Navigating the legal system can be daunting, especially when facing the complexities of criminal charges. One question that frequently arises is the difference between a warrant and a summons complaint. Bob breaks down these terms, explaining that a summons complaint, identifiable by an 'S' number, allows the accused to be free post-complaint issuance. On the other hand, a warrant complaint, marked with a 'W', signifies a more severe scenario where the accused is detained, photographed, and fingerprinted. This video is essential for anyone seeking clarity on these processes or facing such circumstances -> https://lnkd.in/ez4tP5sx Stay informed with regular legal updates from our team of former prosecutors at the Bianchi Law Group.

🚨The Crumbley Case and Parental Liability New Jersey State Bar Association🚨 The Crumbley Case and Parental Liability Friday, May 3rd 12:00-1:40 ☞ Robert (Bob) Bianchi, Esq. (Former Head Morris County Prosecutor) and Robert B. Hille, Esq. (Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Civil Trial Attorney) show how The Crumbley Case was a Landmark Decision in Parental Liability. The #Crumbley Case Outcome The tragic school shooting at Oxford High School in Michigan in December 2021 took a dramatic turn in February and March of 2024 with the convictions of Jennifer and James Crumbley, the parents of the teenage shooter, Ethan Crumbley. This case marks a significant precedent in holding parents legally responsible for their children's access to firearms and potential danger they pose. The Debate Continues Opponents of the Crumbley verdicts express concern that holding parents criminally responsible for their children's actions sets a dangerous precedent. They argue it's difficult to define the line between parental responsibility and criminal culpability. The Crumbley case has undoubtedly opened a new chapter in legal discussions surrounding parental liability. Whether this approach proves effective in deterring future school shootings and gun violence remains to be seen. Event #Agenda This will be a free-flowing discussion. The person named after each heading will lead that particular topic. Introduction – Lisa Chapland Overview of the topic. – Robert Bianchi ·     Includes the “Law and Crime” clip, putting the Crumbley case in context. ·     Discussion of the Michigan statute under which the Crumbleys were convicted. The Verdict – Robert Hille ·     How did involuntary manslaughter apply to the parents? ·     How is this different from holding the parents liable under vicarious liability? ·     What does the holding mean for possible criminal exposure to parents? Novel and unique theory holding the parents responsible for acts of their children. The Ramifications- Robert Bianchi ·     Has the case escalated our ability to go after parents by accusing them of using their children as instruments of a crime? ·     Will parents bear civil liability for their children’s transgressions? ·     Examples: Parents are aware child is a bad driver but let’s them use the car. If the child is in an accident, are the parents liable for a damage? Child has a history of acting out and hits a child or teacher in school. Are the parents liable? ·     Could parents weaponize liability under this new Crumbley theory in a family law dispute?

The New Jersey Law Journal published "Litigators Face New Challenges Under Revised Open Records Law," explaining that some New Jersey litigators will need to adjust their methods in light of Governor Murphy's decision to sign a measure modifying the state's Open Public Records Act (OPRA). Cohn Lifland's Walter Luers, who represents records requesters said, "I think that because OPRA remains a remedial statute, courts will still accept arguments that, even in the absence of bad faith on the part of a records custodian, counsel fees should be awarded to prevailing plaintiffs.” Luers is more concerned, however, about whether a law firm representing a records requester in OPRA litigation is considered a commercial requester under the new law. The legislators who drafted the law say it was needed because of the burden that commercial data companies create for records custodians. Requesters who give the wrong answer on whether they are commercial entities are subject to a $1,000 fine under the new law, Luers said. “Law firms are going to have to look very carefully as to whether or not requests that they file on behalf of a requester are commercial requests.” He adds, “I think that’s a gray area that’s probably going to have to be litigated.” #OPRA #openpublicrecordsact
