He is accused of killing a Newark policeman-but he will not be tried in public places, and he will not be a 20-year prison sentence if he is convicted.
This is because the suspected triggerman is a 14-year-old boy-Wafi Jersey, the courts will not transfer children in this era to the Criminal Court, regardless of the extent of their crimes.
“The state law requires 15 years of age to treat it as an adult issue,” Laura Sotnik, Criminal Defense Lawyer and President of the Bar Association in Bergen Province.
“But if you are 14 years old, it cannot be waived from the Adult Court.”
It may not seem one year a lot of a year, but it will make a difference from the difference for an unknown teenager, who was accused of murder of allegedly allegedly, the 26 -year -old detector Joseph Azcona with an automatic weapon on Friday night at a street corner of brick.
Sotnick said that for one reason, the family court judge will deal with the case in secret procedures, then the ruling decided-he did not allow the jury's argument.
The possible sentence will also be completely different.
If the alleged shooter is tried as an adult, the jury can slap him with a 30 -year prison for a policeman. But as an event, the suspect may face 20 years – and perhaps he will not serve the whole thing because there is no minimum mandatory for minors.
After the trial, his case will be concluded, and he will not have a general criminal record.
“This is in fact the most important part of the occurrence of an issue of events – your records are sealed,” Sotnick said.
She said: “From a practical point of view, his case is in the newspaper, and everyone will know that he was charged.” But if someone says in a job interview, “Have you ever been arrested? “… his case is sealed, so the answer is no.
“It is really a separate path for the judicial system, and it is designed in this way.”
The situation has left policemen throughout the garden state, who were angry with what they felt failed to justice.
“He was older enough to gain a weapon, and it appears to be enough to involve the police in an exchange of fire, but now you will say that it is not great enough to be the cruel man in the court that was on the street?” A New Jersey policeman asked incredibly.
“This disturbs! What is the message that he sends to the bullying you want to be?” The officer said. “He killed a policeman-his treatment like the policeman he is.”
The retired Brooklyn investigator intensified, “He should not do age with his charge.
“I intentionally shot a great man who does his work while protecting innocent people.”
“It is huge amounts of bulls,” added a policeman of Bergen Province.
“I get it, they are 14 years old, and their brains have not evolved. But if you are going to accuse this child as an event, you are the best charge of putting this gun in his hands with a killing annex – then he gave him a life sentence.
The officer said: “They assassinated him – this was a coordinated attack.” They knew it was a unique vehicle. They were trying to send a message to the law application such as, “hey, you are on the grass.”
“All I know is a killing policeman. It is better to put them away from life.”
AZCona-a five-year-old member of the power was working to achieve a pistol with the federal authorities-was not an opportunity during an ambush, which left him deadly after he claimed that Kiddi's shooting had discharged 29 bullets.
Officials said that Azcona and his partner were in the Broadway Department in Newark near the Basic River when the deadly shooting erupted at about 6:30 pm by McDonald's and White Castle near the intersection of Carterit Street and Broadway.
“Based on criminal intelligence, [officers] The Prosecutor of the Essex County Theodore Stevens said at a press conference on Saturday morning:
“The bullets were exchanged when interacting with the police and these individuals, and unfortunately, two officers were injured and suspected of shooting.”
Azona partner and suspects have been shot, but both are expected to remain.
Azona was not lucky. He died at about 2:30 am on Saturday at the University Hospital with his mother and his father and several brothers grieved on his side.
Stevens said Azona “was shot before he had the opportunity to leave his police.
“We need a Sharp laser focus on trying to find the reason for this 14-year-old in the situation he was-he had a weapon, and he felt he could use it against the police,” said Stevens.
This is a crazy situation. This one cannot be separated. “
The prosecutor added that the policemen regained the automatic weapon used by the teenager. About five people who were at the scene of the accident were also detained.
Stevens said: “The concerned officers are heroes.”
The sad Azona family has left its sudden loss.
“This was my child,” said Mother Martha Vargas, 56, to The Post on Saturday. “He always said that he wanted to be a policeman when he was young, and when he grew up, he performed the test.”
“I thought it was a simple thing,” she said, talking about the moment the policemen called to the hospital. “[But] They shot it in the head. ”
The authorities also accused the murderer of her alleged son of trying to kill to shoot his partner, according to officials and sources.
