Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Thomas Farrow, Jr., Defendant-Appellant

September 8, 197261 N.J. 434

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed Thomas Farrow's murder conviction, now reduced to life imprisonment after the death penalty was vacated. The Court held that the photographic identifications admitted at trial were not unconstitutionally suggestive and did not require counsel, and that the trial judge correctly limited the defense's access to the police report. Issues concerning the Witherspoon jury selection and death‑penalty challenges were deemed moot.
