New Jersey County Scraps "Gun Court": Essex County's top
judge has scrapped a four-year-old program to crack down on chronic gun
offenders in Newark, saying there was no evidence it did anything to curb crime.
State Superior Court Assignment Judge Patricia Costello said she no longer saw
the benefit of setting aside a judge, prosecutors and probation officers to
handle the city's gun-possession cases because the only verifiable result was
higher bails.
