THE RECORD
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled Thursday that it was “a patent and gross abuse of discretion” by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office to deny Carlstadt Mayor William Roseman entry to a trial-diversion program in a criminal case involving health insurance wrongly provided by the borough to his wife after they divorced.
The unanimous ruling comes amid scrutiny of another decision by the office of Prosecutor John Molinelli involving the program known as Pretrial Intervention — twice approving a Teaneck doctor for PTI who had been indicted on charges of groping female patients but avoided trial and was allowed to keep his medical license.
