The alleged victim has her own history with alcohol abuse, and Schweizer once obtained a restraining order against her several years ago, Palazzo said. Most telling in the restraining order is that the alleged victim indicated if he slept in the living room, she would call the police and falsely accuse him of rape, Palazzo said. So she already has the basis to make a false accusation.
Palazzo said the woman declined to give police a written statement at the scene of the alleged rape on April 21. When she was brought to the local hospital, she was so intoxicated she declined medical treatment and threw bodily fluids at the staff, he said.

A funeral held Sunday for Donny Morris, the 18-year-old Bergenfield man killed during a deadly religious event in Israel, drew tens of thousands of viewers still reeling from the Middle Eastern tragedy last week.
In a nighttime ceremony live-streamed from Israel, speakers paid homage to Morris in a mix of Hebrew and English, remembering the Bergenfield teen as an angelic, pure soul who dedicated his last days to studying his faith abroad. A sea of students, rabbis and other holy leaders were seen gathered before the Yeshivat Shaalvim, the Jewish boys school in Israel where Morris spent his final months.

The Bergen County woman said she thought her troubles had ended last May when she took refuge in her car after an altercation at her then-boyfriend s home in Vernon.
But as she settled into her vehicle for the night, she heard a knock on the window, she said in a lawsuit filed last week in Sussex County.
The knock was allegedly a prelude to a sexual assault by a Vernon Township police officer, Emanuel Rivera, who now faces criminal charges over the May 2020 incident. In the suit filed in state Superior Court, his alleged victim says the encounter has left her with lasting emotional trauma.

Good Wednesday morning!
Since yesterday was a relatively slow political news day, I’ll lead with some news that touches on a personal pet peeve.
State Sen. Kristin Corrado recently introduced a bill that would penalize people who leave their shopping cart in handicap spaces with $250 fines.

Good Tuesday morning!
If United Van Lines conducted the Census, New Jersey would be in trouble. But apparently there’s a federal agency called the Census Bureau whose job it is to count people. And despite the moving company’s annual survey that consistently shows the Garden State having the highest out-migration rate in the nation, the Census Bureau revealed something very different.
