State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. William F. Garvin, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the defendant's larceny conviction, holding that the trial court did not err by omitting a special alibi charge, that the admission of prior convictions for credibility did not violate due process or the Fifth Amendment, and that the evidentiary rulings on prior convictions and jury instructions were proper. The court rejected the defendant's plain‑error and constitutional arguments and declined to overturn the judgment.
