Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Marko Bey (Ii), Defendant-Appellant

August 2, 1988112 N.J. 123

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the capital murder conviction but reversed the death penalty and remanded for a new sentencing proceeding, holding that the trial court erred by requiring a unanimous jury finding of mitigating factors and by failing to inform the jury of non‑unanimous sentencing options; the Court also upheld the admissibility of the defendant's confession as a valid Miranda waiver.
