State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Marvin Dancyger, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and reinstated the trial court's conviction for larceny. The Court held that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, that the trial court's charge on the defendant's failure to testify was permissible, that the admission of a photograph and handwriting expert materials was not error, and that the jury's verdict was not a compromise. Accordingly, the conviction stands.
