Attorney General Vows to Fight On
Following the ruling, Attorney General Platkin issued a defiant statement, insisting that the fight against corruption in New Jersey was far from over.
“I have never promised that these cases would be easy, because too many have come to view corruption as simply the way the powerful do business in New Jersey,” Platkin said.
“Today is a reminder of how much work remains and how difficult it will be to clean up government in our state. But along with the career law enforcement officers and prosecutors who have worked on this case for years, I won’t back down from that fight.”
What’s Next?
While the dismissal marks a major legal triumph for Norcross and his co-defendants, the battle is not over. With the attorney general’s office set to appeal, the case could continue to play out in the courts, shaping the future of corruption prosecutions in New Jersey.
