Criminal Law

• DUI/DWI
  Wrongful convictions, habeas corpus petitions, post conviction relief petitions and motions to vacate convictions, DWI/DUI and domestic violence matters.
• Sex Crimes
  Moore was convicted of rape in 1986. The victim consistently testified that she did not see the assailant clearly. However, after undergoing hypnosis she was somehow able to identify her assailant as Moore. While requests were made to re-test the DNA evidence (that did not link Moore to the rape) the Prosecution informed Centurion Ministries that that evidence had been misplaced. In 2002 Moore's indictment was overturned, however the state appealed and his conviction was reinstated which caused more rounds of appeals until 2004 when the New Jersey Supreme Court sent the case back down to the trial court for a hearing on the issue of hypnosis and whether the current NJ guidelines were sufficient for admitting hypnosis into criminal cases. Casteleiro made it apparent to the court that hypnotically refreshed memories are unreliable. Such testimony is no longer admissible in New Jersey courts.
• Robbery
  Landano was convicted in 1977 for the murder of a police officer during an armed robbery in Kearny, NJ. Landano spent 13 years in prison. In 1998 represented by Paul Casteleiro he was re-tried and freed after the jury deliberated for less than two hours.
• Murder
  In 1975 De Los Santos was convicted of murder. After nine years in prison he was released after it was proven that the witness who testified to a jail house confession had in fact perjured himself and invented the confession.
