What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
My husband had several harassment charges in municipal court against his ex-wife. She filed a retaliatory harassment charge against him and his arraignment date was scheduled at the same time she was to be tried. The prosecutor removed herself from the case because she was a former acquaintance of mine and she asked that the judge transfer the case to another court. The judge said he would prosecute the case himself which he proceeded to do. My husband basically argued his case on his own. He was not fully prepared to do this and the most important facts of the case were not presented. His ex-wife was found not guilty of the harassment charges although last month a Family Court judge did issue a Final Restraining Order on her due to the same ongoing harassing behaviors. Was the judge allowed to be the prosecutor because the two parties both had complaints against each other?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
