Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Willie Lee Brown, Defendant-Respondent

July 24, 197980 N.J. 587

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the State's evidence was sufficient to support convictions for constructive possession of heroin and possession with intent to distribute, and remanded for the appellate court to address the unresolved search‑warrant issue. Justice Pashman dissented, arguing the evidence was insufficient and that the convictions should be reversed.
