Again, the prosecutor appealed to the Supreme Court and once again the Supreme Court agreed with the defendants and Mr. Aiello’s position and he was admitted into the program.

• Defendant had a gun and committed a first-degree robbery. He could have received a prison sentence between 10 to 20 years while serving 85% of the time under (NERA) The no early release act.

That motion was granted and the defendant’s sentence was reduced to three years. If you are charged with a crime please contact Mr. Aiello and his team of criminal trial attorneys.
