Legal Question in Criminal Law in New Jersey

SEARCH WARRANT.

If a search warrant states and being satisied therefrom that located therein or thereon is evidence of violations of the New Jersey Statues,to with:

N.J.S. 2C:11-3

Will and life insurance of XXXXXXXXXX and other documents naming beneficiaries.

and the probable cause exists for the issuance of such warrant(s).

Does that mean that nothing else other than them documents stated above can be seized??

the warrant took 4 months to return and it came as discovery after the indictment was heard. We didn't recieve the discovery package till 1 year after the indictment was heard in court.They used a so call threating letter in the indictment as evidence which was also seized with this warrant.

You say the indictment was heard. What does that mean? Do you mean that an indictment was

returned by a grand jury AND there was a trial before twelve jurors?

Call me if you like.

A search warrant usually limits what can be seized during a search. However, if there is contraband seen in plain view during the search or found in areas where the items listed in the search warrant were reasonably expected to be found, then those items can be seized as well.
