Feds: NJ Longshoreman Gets 2½ Years For Ducking Taxes On $2.5M Of Income
A Port Newark mechanic who was convicted of ducking taxes on $2.5 million of income was sentenced to nearly 2½ years in federal prison. Jonathan Michael, 55, of Springfield had filed returns and paid his taxes without fail for decades, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a release. In 2014, however, he gave his employer in the machine shop at the Port Newark Container Terminal a bogus W-4 form, claiming that he was exempt from any federal income tax withholding from his pay, federal authorities said. The IRS notified Michael in 2016 that he wasn't entitled to exempt status, but he wrote…

Former NJ Military Couple Avoids More Prison Time For Horrific Child Abuse
UPDATE: A former New Jersey Army major and his wife avoided more time in federal prison Wednesday when they were resentenced for routinely torturing three adopted children by breaking bones, withholding water and force-feeding them hot sauce, among other cruelties. A federal appeals court had rejected two previous sentencings of Carolyn Jackson and John E. Jackson by U.S. District Judge Katharine Hayden as too lenient. Hayden, however, said Wednesday that she believed more time behind bars would be "more punishment than is necessary" for abusing the children, all of whom were less than 4 y…
