Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Brooke Murphy, A/K/A Robert S. Green, A/K/A Bob Green, Defendant-Appellant

March 28, 1988110 N.J. 20

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed Murphy's conviction, holding that the prosecutors' failure to follow the newly articulated grand‑juror screening procedures did not taint the indictment or deprive the defendant of fundamental fairness. The Court also ruled that prosecutors must disclose any evidence of juror bias to the supervising judge, and that an indictment will only be dismissed when procedural violations substantially undermine the grand jury's impartiality.
