THE COURTROOM CON: MONICA CIARDI’S SENTENCING EXPOSES NJ’S CORRUPT MACHINE
Protective mother Monica Ciardi faces sentencing today in Essex County, NJ, despite no confirmed indictment, no allocution of rights, and no proof she knowingly waived her parental and First Amendment rights. Her felony plea deal—negotiated under pressure, without due process—includes a gag order and opens the door for permanent separation from her children. Critics call it a state-sanctioned shakedown led by corrupt Morris and Essex County officials. With federal eyes now on the case, pressure mounts on Judge Michael L. Ravin to stop what legal advocates say is a court-run extortion racket against a protective mom who refused to stay quiet.
