Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Lillian Clawans, Defendant-Appellant

July 3, 196238 N.J. 162

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the defendant's conviction for subornation of false swearing and remanded for a new trial, holding that the admission of the victim's prior sworn statement was proper, the State's summation was prejudicial plain error, and the trial court correctly refused the requested jury instruction on inferred witness non‑production.
