The State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Carmine Dipaolo, Jr., Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the venue statute and constitutional provisions permit prosecution in any county where the crime was committed or the body found, that venue objections must be raised pre‑trial, that the jury selection and sequestration were proper, that the M'Naghten rule remains the standard for legal insanity, that evidence of mental illness is admissible to the issue of first‑degree murder, and that the trial court’s instructions on temporary insanity and lack of manslaughter instruction were correct.
