George Norcross III, a prominent South Jersey political figure, has filed a motion to dismiss a 13-count racketeering indictment, claiming that the prosecutors’ case is fundamentally flawed and lacks specific criminal allegations. His defense argues that the actions described in the indictment amount to ordinary business negotiations rather than unlawful threats or misconduct, dismissing the charges as a 'crime thriller with no crime.' Norcross's attorney, Michael Critchley, emphasized that the indictment fails to meet legal standards and pointed out that most alleged conduct occurred too long ago to be prosecuted under the statute of limitations. The Attorney General's office, however, stands by the validity of their charges, asserting confidence in their case. Norcross is accused of leveraging his influence to manipulate Camden’s redevelopment efforts for personal gain, alongside his co-defendants, including family members and former officials. The legal team's dismissal motion is the first substantial response since the indictment was announced in July.
