PATERSON The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office this week provided lawyers for indicted Paterson Councilmen Michael Jackson and Alex Mendez with thousands of pages of alleged evidence in the state election fraud case against them.
Lawyers for the two councilmen said they will closely review the files they received from the state in the “discovery” part of the criminal case, the point when the prosecution shares with the accused whatever evidence it plans to use. They said the volume of documents should not be seen as a sign that the state has a strong case.
“The quantity doesn’t matter,” said Ted Kyles, Jackson’s lawyer. “It depends on the quality. We have to examine these files very closely to see what they have and what they don’t have.”

PATERSON Councilman Michael Jackson pleaded not guilty on Thursday afternoon to election fraud charges filed against him in a five-count state grand jury indictment.
In the virtual arraignment, Jackson said state authorities had failed to fulfill their commitments to provide him with copies of the discovery or the alleged evidence in the case that was the basis for the charges contained in a complaint filed by the office of state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal last year.
Deputy Attorney General Eric Cohen said the state had been waiting to share the evidence until after the indictment and that his office would provide Jackson with the discovery within 2½ weeks. Cohen also said Grewal would offer Jackson a plea agreement the terms of which were not disclosed within days after providing the discovery.
