Jonathan Kessous , a senior associate in the Criminal/Municipal Court Defense Unit of Garces & Grabler , won full acquittal verdicts after a two-week trial before the Honorable Joseph Rea, J.S.C. The defendant, who faced charges of 2nd degree offenses of Possession of Loaded Firearms/Certain Persons Prohibited from Carrying Firearms, would have faced a 10-year prison term, and would not have been eligible for parole for five years.

Under New Jersey Criminal Statutes, there are two distinct types of weapons charges: Possession of Weapons for Unlawful Purposes, and Unlawful Possession of Weapons.

Possession of Weapons for Unlawful Purposes is having a gun, firearm or weapon for the purpose of using it unlawfully against a person or property, such as in committing a crime.

Unlawful Possession of Weapons is having a gun without the legal right to do so, such as a firearm that is illegal to own, or a gun for which you do not have the necessary permit or Firearms ID card.
