I do not know if the power was restored or what happened to the remaining matters. My client and I opted to have our matter postponed. After approximately two hours of waiting, the prosecutor agreed to re-list the attorney cases for those who did not want to wait for the “juice” in Marlton. Without a means to record the proceedings the court session could not proceed. Most importantly, the court recording system is electronic and needs power to operate. With no power the court room could not be opened. The Evesham Municipal building was without electricity. The hallway to the prosecutor’s office was dark and the prosecutor was using a flash light to review his files. In looking around the lobby it became apparent that the light in the building was not coming form the light fixtures but from the sky light. Then I realized the metal detector was not working at the security desk. I walked into the lobby of the municipal building and everything seemed normal … at first. I arrived today at Municipal Court at 8:30 am ready to defend a client. Defending clients in the Evesham Municipal court is nothing new to the firm (See Results in Evesham Township Municipal Court ). Power Outage Causes Postponements in the Evesham Municipal Court In what can only be described as “I have never seen this before,” the Evesham Municipal Court postponed a number of matters on its docket because of a power outage this morning.
