Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Miguel Angel Concepcion, Defendant-Appellant

August 8, 1988111 N.J. 373

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the trial court's jury instruction on reckless manslaughter was inadequate because it failed to address the full scope of the defendant's conduct and therefore reversed the conviction and remanded for a new trial. The Court did not reach the issue of the Graves Act sentencing provision.
