By pleading no-contest to a misdemeanor charge in New York, also known as an "Alford" plea, Alexander Tolchinsky agreed to be found guilty without admitting he did anything illegal, which would give him a year's probation. This type of plea is rare in New York, but unheard of in New Jersey where the man was already on probation. On July 16, a judge began a hearing to determine whether Tolchinsky's Alford plea in New York violated his New Jersey probation. It is to be resumed Friday.
