NJ AG Appeals Sentence

Prosecutors and the NJ attorney general are appealing the sentence  of Rabbi Eiseman handed by Court Judge Benjamin Bucca Judge and have asked an appeals court to review it according to a spokesman for the state Office of the Attorney General. They say the sentence deviated from state statute, which says Eisemann faced a presumptive sentence of five  to 10 years in prison for each of two second-degree convictions for money laundering and misconduct by a corporate official. Eisemann's defense lawyer, Lee Vartan, said Thursday he also will file an appeal addressing various issues that came up during trial. "Given the state’s appeal we really have no choice but to appeal as well," he said. "We'll be filing a similar notice of appeal in the coming days." read more in APP
