THEY AIN'T GIVING UP (AND THEY ALSO DON'T WANT A NEW TRIAL): PROSECUTORS VOW TO FURTHER APPEAL RABBI EISEMANN'S BIG VICTORY

As previously reported here on FAA News, over Yom Tov, the New Jersey Appellate Division granted a massive victory to SCHI founder Rabbi Osher Eisemann, affirming the lower court's decision granting him a new trial.

As noted in that report, this affirmation does not guarantee that the matter is over now, however, this decision is hoped to be the end of Rabbi Eisemann's years long legal saga, as the defense team has previously stated that if the Appellate Division denies the Prosecutors appeal, it is likely that the Prosecutors will then agree to drop the case instead of actually holding a whole new trial - especially in light of the new compelling evidence which they would need to face at a new trial.

However, unfortunately New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin is making it very clear that he does not intend to take a cozy seat so soon.

As tweeted out by long time news reporter Shlomo Schorr, the AG's Office has now vowed to further appeal this ruling to the State's highest court.

Even if they do actually file an appeal, it is very unlikely that their appeal will be considered, as the New Jersey Supreme Court receives many, many petitions and they grant a hearing to fewer than 10 percent of all cases filed.

Every case that is filed to the Supreme Court goes through an intense vetting process and it takes months until all parties have fully provided their briefs. After the briefs have been submitted and the case is "ready," the court reviews the case and decides whether or not it will even agree to hear the case.

If granted, the case would not even be heard until next year.

Curiously, this zeal to first petition the Appellate Division and now the Supreme Court to overturn Judge Paone's decision actually indicates what the Attorney General's Office does not want to face - a new trial, especially in light of the new evidence which they themselves were previously covering up.

Please continue to be mispallel for Osher ben Chana Frimet.
