Latest Erlinger Update Part 1

In this episode, the guys dive deep into the fallout from the New Jersey Supreme Court’s landmark decision in State v. Jamel Carlton (2026). While the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Erlinger v. United States promised a seismic shift in how "persistent offender" status is determined, the New Jersey courts have just thrown a massive curveball. We break down why the court labeled the Erlinger error "harmless" in Carlton’s specific case, but more importantly, why the Justices are now pointing the finger directly at the State House. As the guys have been saying for months: Erlinger is becoming a legislative remedy, not just a judicial one.
