Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Arturo Bonano, Defendant-Appellant

December 7, 197159 N.J. 515

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for a new trial because the trial court failed to instruct that there is no duty to retreat when the defendant is in his dwelling (including the porch) and because the court gave an erroneous manslaughter instruction that limited manslaughter to unintentional killings.
