Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Terrence B. Hartley, Defendant-Appellant

July 3, 1986103 N.J. 252

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the defendant's convictions and remanded for a new trial, holding that the FBI's failure to re‑administer Miranda warnings after the defendant invoked his right to remain silent violated the constitutional requirement that such a right be scrupulously honored, rendering both the federal and subsequent state statements inadmissible.
