ABSTRACT

I opted to sign up with the police department. For about a year I was a police­

man in Ocean Gate.

I went back to Colum bia and thought I was going to go to medical school. I

applied to medical and dental school but couldn ’t get in because my grades

weren’t high enough. After that I became a paralegal at a very big, prestigious

firm in New York City. I worked there for four years, and then decided to go to

law school at the University of Denver in Colorado. A few years later, an oppor­

tunity came up for me to be an assistant prosecutor for the city of Newark. I ’ve

done that since 1987.
