TRENTON – Attorney General Anne Milgram announced that a Camden man pleaded guilty today to shooting an acquaintance in the leg following a verbal altercation.

According to Criminal Justice Director Deborah L. Gramiccioni, James A. Broadwater, 39, of Camden, pleaded guilty to second-degree aggravated assault before Superior Court Judge Lee A. Solomon in Camden County. The charge was contained in a May 28, 2008 Camden County grand jury indictment.

In pleading guilty, Broadwater admitted that on Nov. 13, 2007, he shot an acquaintance once in the leg. An investigation determined that Broadwater shot the 48-year-old male victim after they got into a verbal altercation at the corner of Pine and St. John streets in Camden.

Judge Solomon scheduled sentencing for Oct. 9. The state will recommend a sentence of ten years in state prison. Under the No Early Release Act, Broadwater must serve 85 percent of his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

Investigator Michael Dougherty of the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office coordinated the investigation and Deputy Attorney General Kristen Harberg prosecuted the case for the Division of Criminal Justice. Attorney General Milgram also thanked Sgt. Rick Bumbera, Detective Christopher Provenzano and Detective Augustus Nyekan of the New Jersey State Police, and Officer Fernando Badillo of the Camden Police Department for their assistance in the investigation.

Under the CeaseFire program, the Shoot Team in Camden responds to all non-fatal shootings within the city limits of Camden, conducting an intensive investigation of each shooting as if it were a homicide. Cases are handled by the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office and the Division of Criminal Justice.
