In this week’s New Jersey State Bar Association's Bar Report, Michael B. Roberts, of Roberts & Teeter LLC, and chair of the Criminal Law Section, delivered the New Jersey State Bar Association’s amicus position in State v. Gomes last week. The state Supreme Court case considers whether a defendant, who had a marijuana offense expunged, should be eligible for a pretrial intervention program (PTI) or conditional discharge. The NJSBA has argued that cannabis offenses should not be a bar for future PTI under CREAMMA, a state marijuana reform law that wiped away criminal records for certain charges.
