(So, if you want to commit a crime, do it on a holiday.)

     Although Benjamin tried to get a domestic violence temporary restraining order against Abdur-Raheem on Feb. 15, police personnel allegedly "turned her away."
     Because it was President's Day, they claimed they could not help her and told her to report to the Superior Court of New Jersey Family Division-Essex County the next day. They never contacted the on-duty judge.
     When Benjamin went to the courthouse the next day, leaving her mother to look after Zara, Abdur-Raheem "forcefully kidnapped" the nearly 3-month-old baby, according to the ruling.
     Shamsiddin then stopped his car on the Driscoll Bridge and tossed Zara into the frigid water of the Raritan River below, killing her.
