Attorney General Matt Platkin brought racketeering charges against powerful South Jersey figure George Norcross, only to have them dismissed by a judge. Norcross, often described as a king of South Jersey due to his influence, faced allegations of bullying and tough business tactics. Despite the dismissal of charges, calls for Platkin’s resignation have begun.
Critics viewed the racketeering charges as a stretch from the start, and the judge ultimately ruled that Norcross was merely engaging in legal business practices. Now, Norcross’s allies are pushing for Platkin to step down, creating administrative challenges for the Murphy administration. While Platkin plans to appeal the decision, it may be wise for him to consider the consequences of persisting in light of the failed charges.
The situation underscores the challenges of taking on powerful figures like Norcross, whose influence and tactics can make legal battles difficult. As Platkin faces pressure to resign, the outcome of this case raises questions about the feasibility and consequences of challenging established political players.
