- STATE OF NEW JERSEY VS. MOHAMMAD RAMADAN (22-04-0373, BERGEN COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) A-0345-24 Appellate April 11, 2025 Summary A-0345-24 The court granted defendant Mohammad Ramadan leave to appeal from the Law Division's April 4, 2024 order denying his motion to dismiss count two of an indictment charging him with first-degree attempted murder, N.J.S.A. 2C:5-1, 2C:11-3. Defendant argued the prosecutor gave the grand jury the wrong legal instruction, advising that an attempt to purposefully cause "serious bodily injury resulting in death" constituted a sufficient alternative mental state for the offense of attempted murder. Defendant claimed this error warranted dismissal of the attempted murder count. The court determined that providing the grand jury with incorrect mental state instructions, even though also presenting statements of the correct mental state, created the inherent possibility that the grand jury indicted defendant for attempted murder based on an impermissible mental state. The court cited State v. Gilliam, 224 N.J. Super. 759 (App. Div. 1988), which reversed an attempted murder conviction based upon a similar misstatement of the required mens rea. The court reversed the trial court's order and dismissed the count of first-degree attempted murder. Close

- KEONA PALMER, ET AL. VS. FLAGSHIP RESORT DEVELOPMENT CORP., ETC. (L-1515-19, ATLANTIC COUNTY AND STATEWIDE) A-3287-22 Appellate April 14, 2025 Summary A-3287-22 Plaintiffs brought claims against defendant, owner of a resort property in Atlantic City, alleging violations of the Consumer Fraud Act (CFA) and the Real Estate Timeshare Act (RETA). After a trial, the jury found defendant liable to plaintiffs under both the CFA and RETA and awarded damages under both statutes. After merging the verdicts, the trial court awarded treble damages under the CFA, as well as attorney's fees and prejudgment interest against defendants. Defendant appealed. On appeal, the court held that: the parol evidence rule did not bar plaintiffs from introducing evidence of fraud during trial; plaintiffs were permitted to bring claims pursuant to the CFA and RETA simultaneously; RETA and its accompanying regulations require that a purchaser be given a reasonable opportunity to review a public offering statement; the trial court did not err by submitting a question of contract interpretation to the jury; the trial court did not err by permitting evidence of defendant's alleged RETA violations to go to the jury nor did it present those violations as separate causes of action upon which damages could be award; and finally, the trial court did not err when it increased plaintiffs' attorney's fee award after reconsideration.
