State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. James Culver, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's resentencing of James Culver, holding that the lack of a presentence investigation did not invalidate the new sentence and that the trial court retained authority to correct an illegal sentence even after part of the original term had been served; the Court also rejected the State's motion to dismiss the appeal as untimely.
