Man admits to throwing baby over the Driscoll bridge but no body found
On Tuesday morning, the estranged girlfriend of 21-year-old Shamsid-Din Abdur-Raheem sought a restraining order against him. Less than eight hours after that order was granted, he kidnapped the couple’s 3-month-old daughter from an East Orange apartment and headed south on the Garden State Parkway. He is then alleged to have pulled over on the Driscoll Bridge and throw the baby over the railing into the Raritan River far below.
Other than the man’s confession, there is no evidence that any of this actually occurred. The body of the child has not been found. There were also no witnesses to the incident. Signs near the bridge today ask drivers to tune to an AM radio station to get more information about “an incident”. The message on the radio station does not indicate what occurred but asks anyone that saw anything in the early evening to call police.
While the restraining order had not been served at the time that the baby was taken, there is no indication as to whether or not he knew about the restraining order.

New Brunswick man arrested for ‘Gohst’ graffiti tags
Joseph Pafieka of New Brunswick, New Jersey has been arrested for criminal mischief for allegedly “tagging” walls and buildings across the city with his ‘Gohst” graffiti tag. Police allege that he has done this 100’s of times but how much of that they can prove it unknown. Oddly enough, the key witness that led to his arrest was a homeless man.
Assuming he has no criminal record, this shouldn’t be a big problem for him ordinarily. However, I have a feeling that the authorities will throw the book at him due to the amount of graffiti and to send a message to other “artists”. A good attorney needs to understand this and deal with it right away instead of finding it out a few months later when it is too late to do anything about it.

Child abuse charges dismissed
My client was charged with assaulting his child to the point where she was a bloody mess when the police arrived. The problem in New Jersey is that there is no clear line between corporal punishment and child abuse. So, I argued that this was nothing more than corporal punishment that took a wrong turn. This case took a few months to work out, but in the end, my client had all charges dismissed. He didn’t even have to pay court costs. It was a great result for a very nice client.
Theft charges for stolen wallet dismissed
My client had allegedly stolen a wallet at a party and was later caught by the police. I thought this case would be a little tough, but I was able to get the criminal charges dismissed in exchange for payment of a small fine.
