State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Fred Mingo, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a defense‑retained expert's report and testimony are not discoverable by the State when the defense does not intend to use the expert or the report at trial, and that the State may not call such an expert as a witness over the defense's objection. The court found no prejudice from the expert's testimony and affirmed the defendant's conviction.
