Around 7:44 PM on July 27, 2022, officers with the Hoboken Police Department were dispatched to a report of an assault and attempted robbery in Pier A Park in Hoboken. As an officer arrived on scene, he made contact with a 26-year-old woman who told him that another woman had assaulted her and attempted to steal her phone and headphones. Two other individuals, both 29-years-old, corroborated the 26-year-old woman’s account of events. Officer Palladino went to locate the suspect, and recognized her as 35-year-old Jessica Rosewall. As a homeless woman living in Hoboken, Jessica was already known to Hoboken Police.

Officer Palladino advised dispatch that she would be making contact with Jessica Rosewall and asked her what happened. Jessica seemed incoherent and her story was not corroborated by the other witness accounts. Officer Pizannie then came and placed Jessica under arrest for robbery. Officers Palladino and Pizzanie walked Jessica to the patrol car and transported her back to police HQ.

At the station, Jessica was searched in more detail. After the search was complete, she was handcuffed to the bench. Jessica was and charged robbery in violation of 2C:15-1. Since she was uncooperative and refused to be photographed or fingerprinted, Jessica was also charged with Refusal to Fingerprint in violation of 53:1-15.

Our content is educational and in compliance with YouTube's Fair Use Policy because we edit several long clips into a concise story. This is similar to other law enforcement channels on YouTube. All videos and case documents were obtained pursuant to the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq. (P.L. 2001, c. 404). Defendants are considered innocent until proven guilty.

The New Jersey Supreme Court has previously affirmed in Salzano v. North Jersey Media Group, 993 A.2d 778 (2010) that “The fair-report privilege reflects the judgment that the need, in a self-governing society, for free-flowing information about matters of public interest outweighs concerns over the uncompensated injury to a person's reputation.” This video advances a compelling public interest. The summary of events was based on records that are “open to public view through open access to public records” as defined in the Salzano case. In Ramos v. Flowers, 429 N.J. Super. 13, the Appellate Division of the Superior Court has also affirmed the right to film law enforcement interactions.
