    Veterans Diversionary Programs in NJ

    This is a bonus Memorial Day episode of the NJ Criminal Podcast, featuring a segment from the Atlantic County based, Mighty MERP podcast. Host Melissa Rosenblum welcomes veterans advocate Thomas Roughneen for a discussion about Veterans Diversionary Programs in NJ. (Full MERP podcast discussion here: https://www.mightymerp.com/veterans-diversionary-programs-nj-thomas-roughneen/) The conversation discusses the effectiveness of the Veterans Diversionary Program (VDP) in New Jersey and the need for more consistency and support across counties. It highlights the importance of county bar associations in holding counties accountable and the role of mentors in the program. The conversation also touches on the lack of a specialty court for veterans in New Jersey and the potential benefits of a mental health court. The recidivism rates of veterans in the VDP are noted to be very low, and the importance of connecting veterans with VA benefits is emphasized. Takeaways The effectiveness of the Veterans Diversionary Program (VDP) in New Jersey varies across counties, and there is a need for more consistency and support. County bar associations can play a role in holding counties accountable for their implementation of the VDP. Mentors are an important component of the VDP, but there is a lack of recruitment, retention, and training of mentors in many counties. There is a need for a specialty court for veterans in New Jersey, similar to those in other states. The recidivism rates of veterans in the VDP are very low, highlighting the success of the program. Connecting veterans with VA benefits is crucial, but many veterans are unaware of the support available to them. https://www.mightymerp.com/veterans-diversionary-programs-nj-thomas-roughneen Chapters 00:00 Statewide Standardization 02:08 County Bar Associations and VDP 04:05 Specialty Court for Veterans 05:12 Status of VDPs in Different Counties 09:03 Impact of Veterans Diversionary Programs

    Murder of Jerod Draper in a Safe Place

    In 2018, a Guantanamo Bay trained nurse tortured Jarod Draper to death with a fifty-thousand volt Taser while he strapped to a steel chair in Harrison County Jail in Indiana. Any reasonable person who watches Safe Place knows they've witnessed a crime. Please help bring attention via Change.org petition ⁠https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-jarod-draper Larry Wilder is fighting for justice in the jailhouse murder of Jerod Draper. In October, 2023, the statute of limitations will expire, and justice betrayed. View the documentary, Safe Place: https://safeplacefilm.com Any reasonable person who watches Safe Place knows they've witnessed a crime. Please help bring attention via Change.org petition https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-jarod-draper A Guantanamo Bay trained nurse, named Michael Gregory, and Dustin Cundall, jail captain, were the primary actors in the jail cell when Jerod Draper was killed. While being shocked, Draper’s hands, chest, and feet were all strapped to a five-point restraint chair. His official cause of death was determined to be an overdose, but what angers his mother is how he was treated while he was alive. But the FBI refuses to investigate, and the local prosecuting attorney, Otto Shalk, does not have the juice to act on behalf of justice. If there is no legitimate effort to pursue this case, the clock will run out in Oct 2023. At that point, the guilty will get a pass for murder in Indiana. The clock is ticking. In October, 2023, the statute of limitations will expire, and the associated moral-hazard will be transferred to those who chose to look the other way, when it was their job to do otherwise. The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has a history of bringing charges when law enforcement officials abuse their power.
