We are proud to have one of the few practicing attorneys in our state who represented defendants charged with capital murder when New Jersey still recognized the death penalty. Pamela Lynn Brause has tried several notable capital murder cases:

The defendant was convicted of luring two pizza deliverymen to a remote location, where he shot and killed them for the thrill of it. After a retrial of the penalty phase, Ms. Brause successfully defeated the prosecution’s efforts to impose the death penalty.
• State v. Jonathan Robinson — 1997 trial in Atlantic County. The defendant was convicted of returning to a video store that he had previously robbed and stabbing to death the 21-year-old clerk because she could have identified him. Ms. Brause successfully defeated the prosecution’s efforts to impose the death penalty.
• State v. Robert Gardner — 1996 trial in Monmouth County. The defendant was convicted of killing an elderly man during a burglary of the defendant’s place of business. Ms. Brause successfully defeated the prosecution’s efforts to impose the death penalty.
