The following statement was issued today by Attorneys Jeffrey Lichtman and Lee Vartan.
"Today
was complete vindication for Khari Noerdlinger, having lied-repeatedly-to the
grand jury and engaged in gross prosecutorial misconduct, the state voluntarily
dismissed the manslaughter charge and agreed to dismiss the remaining charges
after the successful completion of six months of the pretrial intervention
program. Now that the case is over, we will initiate a lawsuit against the
Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, Prosecutor Grootenboer and Detective
Costello for their criminal actions before the grand jury. We also will push
for criminal charges for the two and the disbarment of Grootenboer. In 2017,
law enforcement cannot hide evidence from a grand jury in order to falsely
charge innocent people with crimes. Those law enforcement officers who have
sworn to uphold the law will now themselves be required to face justice."
