February 18, 2010 1. Rebuttable Presumption a Road Sign is Properly Posted. State v Smith 408 NJ Super. 484 (App. Div. 2009) Defendants conviction on trial de novo for violating N.J.S.A. 39:4-125 is affirmed because he turned his vehicle "around so as to proceed in the opposite direction on a highway" on which a "no U turn" sign was conspicuously posted. Defendant does not have to perform a "u turn." The West Annotated version of the statute contains an error. The "no U turn" sign need not be on a "state" highway, and therefore whether or not the road was a "state" highway was irrelevant, as there is a rebuttable presumption the statute was properly posted. As defendant was not entitled to assigned counsel, the fact he was improperly assigned counsel in the Law Division does not require vacation of the municipal conviction because he was not assigned counsel there. 2. Waivers of Forfeiture is Judicial Function. State v. Rone ___ NJ Super ___(App. Div. 2009) 14-2-6128 A decision by the prosecutors office to waive forfeiture of office under N.J.S.A. 2C:51-2 is not analogous to prosecutorial decisions with respect to pretrial intervention and is not entitled to enhanced deference or judicial review. Waiver of forfeiture is a judicial function, not a prosecutorial one. 3.
