lexander Goldinsky appealed from a guilty plea to third-degree insurance fraud and was sentenced to two years’ probation instead of being placed in New Jersey’s Pretrial Intervention Program (PTI). In State Of New Jersey v. Alexander Goldinsky, Docket No. A-1474-19, Superior Court Of New Jersey Appellate Division (April 14, 2021) the Appellate Division was asked to reverse Goldinsky’s plea and place him in the PTI.

ZALMA OPINION

Insurance fraud is a serious crime – whether effective in great amounts or small – and deserves punishment. There was no question that Goldinsky was guilty of the crime. He faked the trip and fall on video, admitted the crime, and was luck that he was only sentence to two years of unsupervised probation. Instead, he appealed the chance to avoid a conviction and wasted the time of the appellate court. His crime was clear, premeditated and effective. He deserved jail time and avoided it.
