The State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Marvin Reginald Mathis, Defendant-Appellant

July 3, 196852 N.J. 238

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the defendant's conviction and death sentence, holding that the trial court correctly applied the Witherspoon standard in excusing jurors who were unable to consider the death penalty and that any erroneous exclusions did not require reversal because the jury remained representative.
