Milania Giudice’s assault case is moving, just not toward trial yet. The 20-year-old appeared virtually in Montville Township Municipal Court on August 11 alongside attorney Alan Kraminsky, and the hearing centered on a request for more time rather than any ruling on the case itself.
“Prosecutors are asking to postpone to complete an anger management class, judge, and we will relist it if we can get a new date in September,” Kraminsky told the court.
The judge agreed, noting the state still needs to review discovery and speak with the responding officers. Kraminsky initially asked for a date around September 15 or 29 to work around Milania’s school schedule in Florida. The judge landed on September 29 for the next hearing.
Where The Case Stands
This case traces back to a May 14 incident at Teresa Giudice and Luis Ruelas’s New Jersey home. At her arraignment, the judge stated Milania “did knowingly cause bodily injury to another, specifically by striking the victim, LR, in the head with her fist, causing redness to the middle of the victim’s forehead, during a domestic dispute.” She has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, she faces up to six months in jail, probation, and fines exceeding $500.
The alleged victim’s identity remains unconfirmed beyond those initials. Milania’s sister Gabriella called 911 that night, telling dispatchers Milania was acting erratically and throwing food and candles.
A Difficult Stretch Since Her Last Hearing
Milania’s attorney said she was in New Jersey for a family event during the hearing. This was likely the August 13 memorial for her childhood best friend, Victoria Zardoya. Victoria passed away on July 26 after a fall at Fort Dade ruins in Florida. That loss came in the weeks between her last court appearance and this one, adding real weight to a summer that was already consumed by the pending case.
Enrolling in anger management ahead of trial is a notable step, regardless of how the underlying case resolves. It suggests a legal strategy focused on showing accountability before the September hearing. This approach is better than just waiting for the process to unfold.
The next hearing is set for September 29.
