The New Jersey Supreme Court has ruled that a legal malpractice lawsuit against the Office of the Public Defender was properly dismissed for failure to comply with the provisions of the Tort Claims Act.
The justices, in a 6-1 ruling, said summary judgment was correctly granted to the OPD in a malpractice claim brought by Antonio Chaparro Nieves, whose sexual assault conviction was overturned after he spent 12 years in prison.
