in the state of New Jersey, who can I speak to when an investigator lied gain an indictment?

Question

every piece of his report was a lie and he used those lies to get and indictment. every word written can be proven false and show he did not do the investigation he stated but received his information from a spouse whom has been separated and about to be divorced for 2 years, was behind the lies.

Answer 1

If you believe that an investigator has perjured himself/herself in front of a grand jury, AND you are not the defendant involved, then you should take the information to the prosecutor. Make sure the evidence is something they can verify, and is not merely your conjecture. The reason I say do this if you are not the defendant involved, is that the prosecutor will discount what you say if you are the defendant, at least until after the criminal charges are concluded.

If there has been an indictment, and you ARE the defendant, then you need to obtain a criminal defense attorney IMMEDIATELY. Give him/her the evidence you have, and be completely honest. It is very rare that an investigator will utterly fabricate testimony and evidence, because they have too much to lose. Imagine the results for their career if they are found to have fabricated evidence or testimony, EVEN ONCE... that fact will be brought up to every jury they ever testify in front of again, and their usefullness as an investigator is over.

If the district attorney or prosecutor will not listen to you, then I suggest you contact your state attorney general's office. Again.. make sure this is valid evidence, and not conjecture or opinion on your part. You may want to obtain the assistance of an attorney to evaluate the evidence that you have, to make sure it is something that will be received well and believed.

Answer 2

Good luck with this. In every state, the police are protected against civil suits that arise from actions while they were on duty and acting in their official capacity.

There may be criminal charges that apply in this case since you claim he lied in an official report. Perjury charges may apply as well since the officer has to swear or affirm that the information contained in the report is true and factual.

Your first stop should be the prosecuting attorney's office. You will need to have a copy of the officer's report and the evidence you have. The closer you come to doing all of the work for them, the better your chances of getting action from them.

If your proof is incontrovertible, and if the local prosecutor acts indifferent about your evidence, then you state Attorney General is the next stop.

I can tell you from experience that most departments and/or prosecutors have little interest in punishing one of their own.

Hope that helps some!

The Supreme Court has already ruled on what you are describing here. It is all right for law enforcement to lie, deceive or whatever they want. It is not fair. It is not right. It is the way it is now in our country.
