Reports: Monmouth Man Serving 50-Year Prison Sentence For Attempted Murder Gets New Trial
A New Jersey appeals court has thrown out the attempted murder conviction of a Monmouth County man who is serving 50 years in Trenton State Prison for allegedly shooting another man.

Sims was tried and convicted in 2017 for allegedly shooting another man 12 times in Red Bank on April 9, 2014, according to earlier news accounts.

Jersey Shore 'Patient Broker' Gets 13 Months For Bribing Drug Users Into Out-Of-State Rehab
A Jersey Shore man was sentenced today to 13 months in federal prison for bribing drug addicts to enroll in rehab centers as far away as California in order to collect kickbacks for himself. Peter J. Costas, 27, of Red Bank, took a deal from the government rather than go to trial, pleading guilty via teleconference with a federal judge in Newark this past May to conspiring to commit health care fraud in exchange for the sentence. He’ll have to serve just about all of his sentence because there’s no parole in the federal prison system. Costas paid some addicts several thousand dollars to us…

Murphy Addresses Restaurant Hecklers With Compassion For Those Stressed By Pandemic
Gov. Phil Murphy said he was largely unaffected by the group of women who harassed him and his family over the weekend while dining out Saturday in Red Bank. The governor addressed the 36-second encounter that began circulating Sunday afternoon on social media during Monday's COVID-19 briefing. "I would say, one, that I'm a big boy and I have thick skin," Murphy said. "It doesn't impact me at all." The only part that seemed to bother him, though, was that the women involved his family. "Leave my family out of it," he said. The governor, his wife Tammy Murphy, and their four children were…
