What are the Penalties For Murder Under New Jersey Law?
Murder is a crime committed purposefully or knowingly killing another individual or causing harm from which the person later dies. This crime can also be committed by a person who is committing another felony crime, such as during a robbery or while fleeing the scene. Under New Jersey criminal law section 11-3, murder is a first-degree crime. While the penalties can vary depending on the nature of the alleged offense, typically this crime carries 30 years to life in prison without parole.

"I recommend him and would use him again"I was in a super stressful situation in which a driver was claiming I caused damaged to their vehicle while driving amongst other things..Mr Scura answered my initial phone call at 7pm at night, and was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He handled everything professionally, and in a timely manner always responding to all of my questions and obtained a very fair and optimal outcome in my case. I’d like to also mention he took all of the stress out of the situation for me at a time in my life that was immensely stressful! I recommend him and would use him again ( but hopefully don’t have to)A Franks
