Jahmell Crockam, the man convicted of killing Lakewood Police Officer Chris Matlosz, will be sentenced next week, an Ocean County Court official confirmed to TLS.
Crockam, 20, was convicted on all charges in front of a Jury with a unanimous verdict on February 16, but a Judge will hand over the sentence on March 22.
He will spend the rest of his life behind bars and will not be eligible for parole.

GOOD, ROT IN H_LL
Good thing for Crockam! He should hopefully get executed!!!
No death penalty? ? ?
He deserves everything he gets and more!
I hope he enjoys his life behind bars, and gets what he deserves and them some. RIP CHRIS MATLOSZ
way to go lpd!!!!! 317 rest in peace!!!!! looks like jahmell changed his shirt. lol
Why do you have to print all these base and disgusting comments? Justice is served because it has to be in a normally functioning society. After the fact, all the mean spirited and vengeful comments have no place in a civil forum.
why waist the tax payers money
You can now finally rest in peace our dear brother and friend Chris. Pray for all of your brothers, family and your one and only Kelly!!! Love u bro!!! We will never forget you!! 317 <3
#7 its called freedom of speech!! this boy is a peice of dirt, not worth the air we breath so if someone feels he should put to death or get “paybacks” in jail then we have the right to voice it. If you dont like it, dont read the comments.
OPJ (#8): Where were you in third grade? Don’t you know the difference between “waist” and “waste?”
WASTE……NOT WAIST
to #7..now you , me , and everybody else has to pay to keep him alive…for the next 40 or 60 years.
I am not sure why we need to keep him in prison costing us millions of dollars. Put him to work cleaning toilets or other work to show the kids examples of what killing a person will cost you.
i’m not defending him, but they shouldn’t give him life without parole. they should for example sentence him to life with possible parole after 60 years. an 80 year old man shouldn’t suffer for a crime he commited 60 years ago. a person should always be given a chance to mend his ways no matter what he did.
I hope this will put closure to a difficult chapter for the people of Lakewood, the LPD, and most of all to Kelly and their respective families. May god bless them all and turn their sorrow into joy and shower them with renewed happy times that will create wonderful everlasting memories!!
Thank god he news deserve everthing he get.we will never forget 317 rip we all miss you
True you’d think a person should get more of a punishment for killing a human being, but we can’t do anything about it. What’s done is done. The main thing is that this guy will never be allowed on the streets again. A big thank you to the police officers who put him in custody to keep us safe.
Sad. The previous poster is right. It’ll cost us $$ to feed him. He also gets free health care. & Free dental care in prison. It’ll cost us over $1,000,000.00 over his lifetime. We can execute him for 6 bucks. Chris will never again see a sunset. Sav will. Very sad. RIP 317 – we miss you. DB
Build a hundred foot high wall, slanting inward on a deserted island and drop ’em in by parachute. OK, forget the parachute.
what do u mean his sent was to harsh people cris was one of the 2 that was murdered in cold blood are we all forgeting he kill a man name justin as well not to mention his brother is in jail for treaths to lakewood high school if his brother was sent to jail so just what a family both need to rot not in jail but in hell
20. Please. I am not sure what the judicial arrangements were for a Nochri who was a Rozeach in historical times. But certainly, the achzariyus in your comment is uncalled for in a civilized world that is not run by vigilantes and blood thirsty revenge mongers. Please cut the comments. 60 or 80 years i s long time to ponder the value of a human life. It serves as a better deterrent than the death penalty. I for one have tremendous pity for Crockham,’s family and for his personal missed opportunities. A life is a terrible thing to waste.
#15 ur right in stead of life in jail we should give him life at chucky cheese maybe if that was ur dad or brother or son maybe u would think diff yeah i agree are tax payers money is keep that (moderated) alive he shouldnt even be let out of life that would be way to easy so hard labor everyday of his life sounds about right lets get a chain gang back hes lucky hes isnt my cell mate
He’s lucky he will spend his life behind bar. Because, if he continued to walk the street, he would be on death row. Street justice!!
This animal should be executed..
