Is 42-year sentence too long for man convicted of sex assault? N.J. court says it is.
A state appeals court ruled late last month that a jury can decide to shorten the sentence of a New York man convicted of sexually assaulting an Atlantic City housekeeper nearly seven years ago.
The judges agreed in an opinion issued Dec. 19 that the New Jersey Superior Court wrongfully sentenced 39-year-old Jamel Carlton to an extended prison sentence for the assault at Bally’s Hotel and Casino in 2018.
Carlton appealed both his conviction and sentence of 42 years, which a Superior Court judge imposed while deeming the Saugerties man a, “persistent offender.”

How much snow will NJ see Monday?
Why is my tire pressure low in car when it’s cold out?
With winter approaching and the temperatures getting colder, ever wonder why the tire pressure light is on in your car?
Amid predictions of winter storms on the east coast, New Jersey residents may be wondering if January’s cold spell will bring blankets of snow to their backyards.
The answer: it may depend where you live.
Portions of South Jersey, including the Jersey Shore, are under a Winter Weather Advisory from late Sunday night through Monday night. Snowfall totals could end up between 2 to 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
The predicted snow totals were lowered from earlier estimates of 5 to 10 inches. The advisory also covers east central and southeast Pennsylvania.
Northeast New Jersey and New York City could get a dusting, with light snow predicted late Monday morning and into the afternoon, according to one National Weather Service.
That’s according to one model, but “it’s very possible the snow stays south and not much snow falls at all,” the weather agency reported.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain are some of the likely feature attractions, as well as temperatures that are expected to hover around the freezing mark during the day, and as low as 20 degrees or the upper teens Monday night, according to Bryan Ramsey, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Upton, New York.
In affected areas, commuters should prepare for the possibility of slippery and hazardous road conditions during Monday morning and evening commutes.
The latest road conditions for the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
The weather event, dubbed “Winter Storm Blair” by The Weather Channel, began on the West Coast Friday and been making its way eastward all weekend — but veering more to the south, as it follows the route of the jet stream.
