County kicks off National Crime Victims Rights Week.
Residents and officials gathered in Morristown Monday to pay tribute to crime victims, just one week after the Boston Marathon bombings. “As we can just see from last week’s tragedy in Boston, we have to keep ever vigilant to ensure the protection of our citizens and maintain the rights of victims in the justice process,” acting Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp told a crowd of 50. “The victims are often the forgotten people in the criminal justice system," he said at a dedication for National Crime Victims' Rights week. Keynote speaker Richard Pompelio, an attorney with the New Jersey Crime Victims' Law Center, said the legal system has long shown "disinterest" in the victims of crimes. "Somewhere along the way, the system began to …

The Parsippany-based assemblywoman says violent conduct was tolerated by the university's athletic department for far too long.
District 26 Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce, who was recently appointed to the state General Assembly's higher education committee, says Rutgers did the right thing by firing controversial former coach Michael Rice. “Rutgers Coach Michael Rice demonstrated a pattern of conduct with his players that is unbefitting an institution of higher learning," said DeCroce, a Parsippany resident. "There is no rational way to condone or explain the physical and verbal abuse that Mr. Rice heaped on his players. Coach Rice earned his dismissal, and I support his firing." She added that she is most upset that "Coach Rice's conduct was tolerated for so long by the university. "People in the athletic department knew for quite some time of Coach Rice’s …

Assemblywoman reflects on missing husband and the journey that took her to Trenton.
The new 26th District Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce, fresh from her swearing-in ceremony at the State House Thursday, is still processing how her life has changed in just over five weeks. On the morning of Jan. 9, she was a former Mine Hill council member and Roxbury Township municipal clerk serving as deputy commissioner of the state Department of Community Affairs and the wife of Assemblyman Alex DeCroce. By the day's end, she was a widow, just days away from being elected by area Republicans to fill her late husband's legislative seat. In a freewheeling Friday conversation with Patch, DeCroce, 59, pauses from her increasingly busy schedule—she's already received committee assignments and is getting started on her pet issues, education …
