The State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Milton Carter, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division’s order committing Milton Carter and remanded the case for a full hearing on the propriety of conditional release under N.J.S.A. 2A:163-2. The Court held that conditional release is permissible and must be decided on a clear‑and‑convincing proof standard, while also noting the legislative intent to allow such releases.
