A-28-18 State v. A.T.C. (081201)

In this facial challenge to N.J.S.A. 2C:14-2(D), is the statute unconstitutional on the grounds that it violates the separation of powers doctrine? Did the State -- through the sentencing record and the Attorney General guidelines -- sufficiently explain its use of discretion to permit effective judicial review as required in State v. Vasquez, 129 N.J. 189 (1992), such that A.T.C.’s sentence did not violate the separation of powers doctrine?
