Linden Prosecutor Says He Doesn't Answer to Linden Judge

From the New Jersey Law Journal:

"DiLeo also says that on the night of the trial, the municipal prosecutor, Nicholas Scutari, 'had left the court for the evening without permission.'"

"Scutari, for his part, says he answers to the Union County prosecutor, not the judge, adding, 'If he needed me back, he's got my number.' Scutari, a Linden solo and also a state senator, says that during court sessions he is often outside the courtroom, conferring with defendants or counsel, and does not enter unless summoned by the judge."
