Judge Dismisses Charges Against Norcross

A Superior Court Judge has dismissed all charges lodged in a racketeering indictment against Democratic power broker George Norcross and others, finding the indictment failed to state the elements of a crime. BreakingAC.com reports prosecutors had accused Norcross and others of leveraging Camden government and the threat of reputational harm to strong-arm Philadelphia-based developer Carl Dranoff into ceding development rights and to oust Anthony Perno, the former CEO of the nonprofit Cooper’s Ferry, now called Camden Community Partnership.
