City of Newark, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Elizabeth L. Pulverman

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a judgment of acquittal entered by the County Court after a de novo trial of a zoning ordinance violation is final and not subject to appeal by the City of Newark, and that the death of the defendant does not bar his legal representative from seeking review of a criminal judgment. Accordingly, the Court reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the acquittal.
