State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Rubin Carter and John Artis, Defendants-Appellants

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court vacated the murder convictions of Rubin Carter and John Artis and ordered a new trial because the trial judge erred in rejecting recantation testimony, and the State failed to disclose promises of favorable treatment and a tape that could have affected witness credibility, violating due‑process obligations.
