2. DWI Guilty Plea Reversed where No Reasonable Suspicion Under the Influence.State v. Maclay, App. Div.Docket No. A-4542-10T4) Unreported.
Defendant appealed from the order of the Law Division, denying de novo his motion to suppress a motor vehicle stop that led to his arrest and conditional plea to driving under the influence. The Law Division sustained defendants objection to consideration of the 911 recording, finding the state violated its continuing duty to provide it; defense counsel did not have an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses regarding it; and he did not have the opportunity to argue its significance before the municipal court.
The appellate panel found the state failed to present sufficient facts on which one could draw a reasonable and articulable suspicion of driving under the influence. There was no observation of inebriation or alcohol consumption before defendant entered his vehicle; nor was there any record evidence - after suppression of the 911 recording - that defendant was observed driving erratically, or unusually, or in violation of other motor vehicle laws. The panel reverses and remands to the municipal court to allow defendant to withdraw his conditional guilty plea.

3. Judge is Reprimanded for Helping Prosecutor in DWI Trial.In the Matter of Gregory R. McCloskey, JudgeDocket ACJC 2010-283Unreported
A municipal judge who fed questions to the prosecutor during an ex parte chat in a drunken-driving case was publicly reprimanded on Feb. 24. The state Supreme Court agreed with the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct that Gregory McCloskey undermined confidence in the benchs independence and impartiality by showing a preference for the prosecution and should have disqualified himself. According to the ACJC presentment, McCloskey directed the prosecutor - outside the presence of defense counsel - to ask two questions of a witness that were specifically central to the States case and specifically critical to the defense theory.

Attorney General Chiesa noted that the ban, issued by the Division of Consumer Affairs, is much more comprehensive than previous efforts to eliminate synthetic marijuana. It includes both broad and specific language that includes all possible variants of the drug.
