David Gelman recently joined Fox & Friends First to discuss the Lindsay Clancy trial and the role the insanity defense, expert testimony, and reasonable doubt could play in the jury’s decision. As David explained, testimony about whether Clancy could appreciate the wrongfulness of her actions goes directly to one of the central questions jurors must consider.

Our latest blog takes a closer look at David’s Fox News commentary and explains how these complicated legal issues would be handled under New Jersey criminal law.

Can you really be prosecuted twice for the same conduct?

Luigi Mangione’s federal guilty plea and the continuing state case are putting double jeopardy back in the spotlight. While federal law generally allows state and federal governments to pursue separate prosecutions, New Jersey double jeopardy protections can go further in certain circumstances.

Our latest blog explains how double jeopardy works in New Jersey, why state and federal charges can arise from the same conduct, what the “dual sovereignty” doctrine means for defendants, when a prior federal prosecution could potentially prevent a later New Jersey case, why the order and timing of state and federal cases can matter, and David Gelman’s analysis of the strategy behind Mangione’s guilty plea.

Facing charges in both New Jersey state court and federal court can create complicated legal questions. Understanding how the two systems interact can be critical to building a defense.

Police officers are human, and like anyone else, they can make mistakes.

That's why every detail matters. An experienced criminal defense attorney knows how to identify investigative errors and use them to protect your rights.

Charged with aggravated assault after defending yourself?

Self-defense may be a valid legal defense, but it isn't automatic.

Here's what you should know:

➡️ Self-defense and mutual combat may apply, depending on the facts of the case.
➡️ Prosecutors may argue you used more force than was reasonably necessary.
➡️ They may also claim the threat had ended, but the use of force continued.
➡️ Every detail matters when building a strong defense.

If you're facing aggravated assault charges, an experienced attorney can evaluate the evidence, identify the strongest defense strategies, and fight to protect your rights.
