Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

judge enters plea contd

Does this plea the judge has entered still

give an admiralty court the jurisdiction over

you to trial and prosecute? Because to my

knowledge once YOU or YOUR ATTORNEY

has entered a plea it does give them

jurisdiction, however they are very limited

by laws of the Constitution which are

ignored in almost every civil and criminal

action, which this becomes their bypass

once you've plead guilty, not guilty or no

contest (just like pleading guilty). When the

judge entered the plea of not guilty I asked,

has the court made a judicial determination

that I am not guilty? He replied no and I

motioned 4 him to withdraw the plea. He

then said he would hold me in contempt

(for excercising my rights) but he did not

but I think gave me a continuance

demanding that I hire a licensed attorney

refusing me the RIGHT to defend myself

against the accuasations made against me.

Is this lawful? He seems to be conspired

with the prosecution! I've written a notice

of abatement, is this good for my situation?

??

Re: judge enters plea contd

You have the right to participate in your trial and to cross-examine witnesses; testify and to presnet your own proofs in your defense, but jurisdiction is based solely on an alleged offense which has contacts with New Jersey. The crime must be alleged to have happened in; started in or been

completed in the State Of New Jersey. A defendant does not have the right to confer or withhold jurisdiction so far as a court is concerned. If you refuse to participate in your case, it will proceed with only the State's proofs.
