A New Jersey judge accepted George Norcross' motion to dismiss an indictment against him, though the legal battle is not over yet.

A day after a New Jersey judge delivered a sweeping rebuke to the team prosecuting the criminal racketeering case against Democratic power broker George E. Norcross III — dismissing all charges and siding with the defense on every legal issue presented — the state’s top law enforcement officer insisted the ruling wasn’t a fatal blow.

Norcross has had huge sway in South Jersey and state politics since the early 1990s and retained his power and prestige despite the indictment.
