Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

Re: Indictment

In New Jersey there is no 90 day rule as there is in New York. A criminal complaint charging a crime can be dismissed upon review of defendant's motion based upon a consideration of four factors, (1) length of the delay;

(2) the reason for the delay (3) the defendant's assertion of his right and (4) prejudice to the defendant resulting from the delay. An example of prejudice is that a witness has become unavailable.

Call me if you like.
