Walter Francis "Wally" Timpone (born November 10, 1950) is a former Associate Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, having been sworn on May 2, 2016.
[6] In 2002, he was considered for first assistant to Christie, United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, but there were questions regarding the appointment arising from his contact with Robert Torricelli, who was under investigation at the time.
He cited a conflict of interest as Christie's appointed vice-chairman of the ELEC when he stepped down as attorney for Bridget Anne Kelly, a defendant in the Fort Lee lane closure scandal court case.
[20] As unwritten rule and senatorial courtesy, Timpone met with each of Union County's state senators Nicholas Scutari (D), Ray Lesniak (D), Tom Kean, Jr. (R).
In his meeting with the Senate Judiciary Committee Timpone said he would recuse himself in any cases which came before the Supreme Court involving DiVincenzo, with whom he is friendly.
