This is Jennifer Webb-McRae, the chief prosecutor in Cumberland County, New Jersey.

As I noted yesterday, Webb-McRae is currently attempting to put a septuagenarian schoolteacher in prison for the high crime of possessing an eighteenth century flintlock pistol. Specifically — and together with the Assistant Prosecutor Sarah Slachetka and Cumberland County Sheriff Robert Austino — Webb-McRae has contrived to charge Gordon Van Gilden with a second degree felony that carries a mandatory minimum sentence of between three and a half and five years. If Van Gilden is indicted and convicted, he may stay behind bars for the rest of his life. The whole rotten story is here.
