Joe Hayden Quoted and Justin Walder Mentioned in NorthJersey.com on Christie administration's last-minute move against Bridgegate's three convicted felons - Bill Baroni, Bridget Anne Kelly and David
Joe Hayden was quoted in NorthJersey.com’s article, “Chris Christie took a parting shot at Bridgegate defendants. Was it necessary?” The article asks several experts option on the final move of Christie's administration to file a series of complaints in Superior Court in Trenton to bar the scandal's three felons from future public jobs.
“A 'legal body blow'
Joseph Hayden, an attorney based in Hackensack who specializes in defending public officials in corruption trials, said the court filings were “mean-spirited” and a “legal body blow,” especially to Baroni and Kelly.
“For both of these people, after they pay their debt to society, they want to make a living,” Hayden said. “It’s almost inconsistent with everything we’ve heard about the re-entry of prisoners into society — about people after they pay their debt trying to make an honest living.””
Justin Walder’s name was included in a photo caption “David Samson, center, former chairman of The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey arrives at federal court in Newark with his attorneys including Justin Walder, right, and Michael Chertoff, left.”
