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

Summary

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