If you live in New Jersey, there’s a good chance that you’ve heard about what’s going on in Elizabeth. Last week, Attorney Frank Caprece was found not guilty of covering up false applications for the Elizabeth school district’s free lunch program.

Caprece was facing charges of tampering with public records, hindering prosecution records, official misconduct, and conspiracy. We’re glad to say that the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot were onboard to help Caprece face the charges he was up against and we’re even happier to say that he was acquitted of all charges.

An article on nj.com states that “after a two week trial, jurors deliberated for six hours over two days before finding Caprece not guilty.” We at the Law Offices of Robert J. DeGroot released our statement as well, stating that the “investigation tried to find corruption where there was only good faith legal advice.”
