A jury in Atlantic County has convicted a man charged with shooting two Egg Harbor Township police officers and firing at a third.
Twenty-nine-year-old Christopher Blank of Egg Harbor Township was found guilty Tuesday of all counts against him, including three counts of attempted murder.
The shooting took place after a traffic stop on the Black Horse Pike on July 13, 2006.
Officers Christopher Leary and Clear Constantino were wounded after a scuffle with the suspect, who also fired at a third officer and missed.
Blank was captured five hours later in nearby woods. He faces up to 60 years in prison at sentencing. |

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
