New Jersey ’s acting attorney general said Tuesday she will not ask the state Supreme Court to review the dismissal of Democratic power broker George Norcross, seen in 2019, and five others were accused of running “an enterprise” going back to 2012 to use their political influence to craft legislation to serve their own interests.
The decision by New Jersey’s Acting Attorney General, Jennifer Davenport, came nearly three weeks after a three-judge appellate panel upheld a state judge’s decision to toss the criminal charges.“In light of the Appellate Division’s decision, we have concluded that our prosecutorial resources would be best spent on other matters,” the attorney general’s office said in a statement.DNA results from potentially key glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home revealed indictment announced by Platkin at a news conference at which Norcross himself took the unusual step of appearing in person and sitting directly in front of the attorney general.But in a nearly 100-page ruling, the state judge found the prosecution’s allegations did not amount to criminal coercion or extortion and are time-barred. Norcross and his lawyers have long maintained his innocence, claiming the indictment was politically motivated, an allegation Platkin has repeatedly denied. Norcross, who served as executive chairman of the insurance firm Conner Strong & Buckelew, has been widely viewed as among the most influential unelected Democrats in the state. He was a Democratic National Committee member until 2021 and previously served as the head of the Camden County Democratic Party.DNA results from potentially key glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home revealedCharles GasparinoThis gold ring looks exactly like Taylor Swift’s go-to style — and it’s only $40Figure skater Amber Glenn breaks down in tears over devastating Olympics 2026 mistake
