Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Richard Theodore Coleman, Defendant-Appellant

November 8, 196546 N.J. 16

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the defendant Richard Theodore Coleman's conviction for first‑degree murder under indictment No. 405. The Court held that the consolidation of the two indictments, the admission of photographs, the testimony of a detective not listed in the particulars, the prosecutor's cross‑examination, the prosecutor's remarks, and the admission of the defendant's confession were all proper and did not violate his constitutional rights. Accordingly, the conviction stands.
