Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Wayne Talley, Defendant-Respondent

October 17, 198394 N.J. 385

Summary

The Supreme Court held that New Jersey's consolidation of theft offenses provision permits a conviction for theft by deception to stand when the indictment is for armed robbery, and that the indictment did not violate the constitutional presentment requirement. Accordingly, the Appellate Division's reversal was reversed and the conviction reinstated.
