Hackensack Carjacking Lawyer Adam M. Lustberg Explains New Jersey Carjacking Statute
Apr 8, 2022
April 08, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Hackensack, NJ carjacking lawyer Adam M. Lustberg releases a new article (https://www.lustberglaw.com/carjacking-lawyer/) explaining the carjacking statute in New Jersey. According to the lawyer, most carjacking charges involve the defendant using a gun or weapon to terrorize, injure or kill the victim. Carjacking charges can often be combined with other criminal charges.
According to the Hackensack carjacking lawyer, “Because carjacking usually involves other crimes of violence, the penalties for a carjacking conviction in New Jersey may deprive you of your freedom for decades – or even for the rest of your life. It is critical that you have a skilled NJ criminal defense attorney who is equipped to build a strong strategy on your behalf and who will work diligently toward what is in your best interests.”
The lawyer explains that New Jersey is well-known for its stringent laws regarding violence and threats of violence. This is why the state has some of the harshest carjacking penalties in the country. A person convicted of carjacking could spend 10 to 30 years in prison.
Attorney Adam M. Lustberg adds that New Jersey's mandatory sentencing laws stipulate that anyone convicted of carjacking cannot be paroled until they have completed at least 85 percent of their sentence. The defendant can also face a life sentence if someone is killed in the carjacking.
In the article, attorney Lustberg discusses the New Jersey Carjacking Statute or N.J.S.A. 2C:15-2 The lawyer mentions that this statute refers to an act that is deemed to be “in the course of committing an unlawful taking of a motor vehicle” if it occurs during an attempt to commit the unlawful act of taking a motor vehicle.
“Carjacking is a crime of the first degree and upon conviction thereof, a person may be sentenced to an ordinary term of imprisonment between 10 and 30 years. A person convicted of carjacking shall be sentenced to a term of imprisonment and that term of imprisonment shall include the imposition of a minimum term of at least five years, during which the defendant shall be ineligible for parole,” says the carjacking lawyer.
Lastly, attorney Lustberg emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer if someone is accused of carjacking. Having an experienced lawyer may be able to help the accused protect their rights and their freedom.
