New Jersey S995 upgrades threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and their family members to a second degree crime.
New Jersey S995 amends the state's criminal code to classify threats of violence against prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and their family members as a second degree crime. This change subjects offenders to No Early Release Act sentencing, requiring them to serve a minimum of 85% of their court-imposed sentence before becoming eligible for parole. The bill aims to protect these individuals and their families by imposing stricter penalties for threats intended to instill fear of imminent harm.
