Does a New Jersey carjacking conviction require serving a mandatory minimum sentence?

Carjacking in New Jersey is charged as a first-degree crime, with sentencing ranging from 10 to 30 years in prison. The law mandates that at least 85 percent of the imposed sentence be completed before any chance of parole. This rule falls under the No Early Release Act, which applies to specific violent offenses.

What makes carjacking different from grand theft auto?

Carjacking is considered more serious under the law because it involves confronting someone and using threats or physical force to take their vehicle. Grand theft auto, on the other hand, involves taking a vehicle without the owner’s knowledge or permission, but without any interaction or threat directed at the owner.

Can someone still face carjacking charges if a weapon wasn’t used?

Yes, a person can be charged with carjacking even if no weapon was involved. The key factor is whether physical force or threats were used to take the vehicle, which the prosecution must establish as part of the case.
