BERGENFIELD — A superior court judge found former Bergenfield councilwoman Elaine Rabbitt not guilty of forgery on Thursday, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.
Rabbitt had been accused of forging the signature of a member of the borough's Democratic committee on a resignation letter, the report said. A handwriting expert tied her to the printed name on the letter, but not to the misspelled signature, and while the judge told Rabbitt that he thought she most likely did it, there was not enough evidence to convict her beyond a reasonable doubt.
