NJ won’t appeal Supreme Court dismissal of racketeering charges against George Norcross and five others due to lack of evidence and statute of limitations.
New Jersey’s acting attorney general, Jennifer Davenport, announced on February 17, 2026, that prosecutors will not seek review of a state Supreme Court decision dismissing racketeering charges against George E. Norcross III and five co-defendants.
The dismissal followed an appellate panel’s ruling upholding a lower court’s decision that the charges lacked sufficient evidence of criminal coercion or extortion and were time-barred.
The case, originally filed in June 2024 by former Attorney General Matt Platkin, alleged Norcross orchestrated a political enterprise since 2012 to influence legislation for personal gain.
Norcross, a former executive chairman of Conner Strong & Buckelew and influential Democratic figure, denied wrongdoing, calling the case politically motivated.
Davenport’s office stated the decision reflects a strategic reallocation of resources toward other public corruption cases amid growing public distrust in government.
