State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. M. C. Jackson and Alfred Ravenell, Defendants-Appellants

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed and remanded for a new trial because the trial court erred in refusing to excuse a juror with close ties to police and in refusing a peremptory challenge after a juror’s misstatement; it held that the lack of a municipal preliminary hearing did not violate due process and that the trial court’s denial of venue, foreign jury, and bail motions was within its discretion.
