In State in the Interest of E.S., decided on Nov. 22, 2022, the Supreme Court held that the Family Part did not abuse its discretion by declining to hear a motion to suppress before waiving a juvenile matter to the Law Division for treatment as an adult. But the court declined to adopt a "general preference" that motions to suppress should be heard in the Family Part before the waiver proceedings are conducted, as the Appellate Division had done. Certainly, Law Division judges have more frequent opportunity to rule upon complex motions to suppress, and as the court noted (although it is arguable whether a juvenile should be treated differently from another juvenile only because he or she has an young adult co-defendant), the pendency of a proceeding involving an adult co-defendant is an important factor in the decision, as hearing motions to suppress of co-defendants simultaneously is important for consistency. State v Gonzalez, 75 NJ 181 (1975). Justice Pierre-Louis concurred, finding no abuse of discretion in the case but noted her agreement with the Appellate Division as to the general preference.
