My Nephew nyajee

My nephew has had his civil rights violated and has been a victim of the corrupt NJ law enforcement system because I filed a lawsuit against the NJ Judiciary.

I, being a probation officer in the county, reported my nephew’s juvenile matter to the Trial Court Administrator in the county. His juvenile matter was transferred from Middlesex County to Union County as it was deemed a conflict by the Trial Court Administrator in Middlesex County. My nephew’s case was transferred back to Middlesex County in a retaliatory attempt against me because of my constant complaints against Middlesex County for discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. My nephew’s public defender pressured him to keep his case in Middlesex County and forced him to sign an illegal plea, informing him that if he did not sign, the incarceration term would be lengthier. My nephew’s Public Defender never advocated on his behalf. 

After my lawsuit was filed, detailing the unscrupulous actions of the Courts, Public Defender, and the Prosecutor, a new private attorney was appointed to my nephew’s case. The new counsel immediately filed a motion to withdraw the coerced plea, citing my nephew’s mental health diagnosis. From the onset, this attorney knew my nephew should have never received the plea based on his mental health issues. What’s more, in an evaluation completed in September 2020 it was determined that my nephew qualified for a not-guilty defense due to his mental health status, yet the prosecutor refused to withdraw his plea and sentenced him to three years with No Early Release, labeling him as a violent felon. 

On February 11, 2022, he was released on parole. He attended counseling, was compliant with his medication, and followed all his parole requirements. He was informed by welfare in order for him to receive expedited services he had to be homeless. My nephew was placed in a shelter to expedite services for housing. On March 30, 2022, his parole officer withdrew him from his outpatient treatment center and placed him in a residential facility. While in that facility he was assaulted by another resident. My nephew attempted to diffuse the situation, avoid the conflict and complete his required treatment. I was informed by a parole officer that my nephew’s parole should not be violated and he should be released on parole as he was the victim, he attempted to avoid the conflict, and he did nothing wrong. My nephew had to remain incarcerated until his parole hearing which was scheduled for four to six weeks. 

After one week of being incarcerated, my nephew stopped calling home. Mercer County jail was reluctant to allow his mother to schedule a visit. When his mother finally did schedule a visit, she was informed my nephew refused to see her. Months later we learned he was never informed he had a visit. I immediately advised my sister to get him a private attorney because I knew they were going to continue violating his rights. Within a week of my sister calling Mercer County jail to talk with officials regarding my nephew, he was transferred to state prison. According to their records, he was refusing his medication and was in a severe mental state. I contend the State of NJ refused to give my nephew his medication to force him into a mental state so they could deny his parole. We obtained a private attorney. We learned the state of NJ was attempting to revoke his parole. They refused to allow his attorney to visit him in prison, denied his phone calls to family, and officers continued to harass him while he was in prison.
