Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella announced charges against SCOTT LIEBERMAN (DOB: 6/11/1961; married; business owner) of 100 Garden Court, Franklin Lakes, NJ for reckless manslaughter. The charge is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Chief Jason Love and the Teaneck Police Department under the direction of Chief Glenn O’Reilly.

On Saturday, June 25, 2022 at approximately 2:00 p.m., the Teaneck Police Department was notified of a motor vehicle collision in the area of Windsor Road and Briarcliffe Road. A 92-year-old victim was transported to Holy Name Hospital where he was pronounced deceased as a result of injuries sustained in the collision. The Teaneck Police Department then contacted the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Fatal Accident Investigation Unit for assistance. The ensuing investigation revealed that a 2022 Ferrari operated by SCOTT LIEBERMAN struck the victim’s vehicle resulting in his death.

As a result of the investigation, on October 4, 2022, SCOTT LIEBERMAN was charged with second-degree reckless manslaughter, N.J.S.A. 2C:11-4b(1).

Prosecutor Musella states that the charge is merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and he would also like to thank the Teaneck Police Department for its assistance in this investigation.
