State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Walter G. Winne, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the trial court's dismissal of a 19-count indictment charging the Bergen County prosecutor with nonfeasance for failing to use reasonable diligence to suppress gambling. The Court held that the indictment sufficiently alleged the statutory duty and willful neglect required for nonfeasance, and that the trial judge abused discretion in quashing it.
