From mob hits to serial killings, New Jersey certainly has its fair share of grisly murders. We followed those killers as they were arrested, tried and sentenced, and even as they continued to appeal their convictions. But after 10, 20, or 30 years in prison, faces have faded from some memories.So where are New Jersey's infamous felons now? Some got reduced sentences in plea deals or just did their time, and they left prison and restarted their lives on the outside.But many are still behind bars, and will only get out as old men or women. Some will spend the rest of their days within prison walls. Their appeals didn't get them anywhere.We've checked in on some of the state's most notorious killers who are still behind bars, to reflect on their crimes and see whether there's any chance they'll be back on the street anytime soon.
