Overview
- Montville Township police arrested Milania Giudice at her mother’s home on May 14 after a reported domestic dispute and charged her with simple assault and causing bodily injury.
- At a July arraignment a judge said Giudice struck the victim identified as LR in the head with her fist and she pleaded not guilty to the charges.
- In a virtual hearing on Tuesday her attorney asked for a continuance so she could complete anger management classes and the defense says she has enrolled in such counseling.
- The judge set the next court appearance for September 29 and ordered the state to review discovery and speak to the officers who responded to the scene.
- Dashcam footage and Giudice’s social posts, plus potential penalties of up to six months in jail if convicted, keep the case in public view and mean the discovery review and officers’ interviews will be key to how the matter moves forward.
