Crime Now Legal In Trenton (Wasn’t It Already?)
Mercer County — home of Trenton, Princeton and the 79th-ranked per capita income among all American counties — has come up with an ingenious way to deal with a rising crime rate. Crime is now, apparently, legal. There’s such a backlog of cases in Mercer County that Superior Court Judge Maria Sypek is considering letting some alleged criminals go since they’ve been robbed of their right to a speedy trial. There are around 800 cases awaiting a grand jury hearing, and, well, Stephanie March can only do so much, people. The police are doing their part to legalize crime by not showing up at grand jury hearings. A word to the wise: Best to stay out of Trenton for the next few months. Not to mention Princeton.
