STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. NICHOLAS MASCE
A-1967-16T1
The State of New Jersey
appealed from the sentencing judge's order denying its request to enter, as
part of the plea agreement reached between it and defendant, a civil consent
judgment for restitution due the victims of defendant's theft, and from an
order denying reconsideration. The court affirmed, concluding the Legislature
did not confer statutory authority on a sentencing judge to enter a civil consent
judgment in favor of a crime victim.
