State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Richard Johnson, A/K/A Richard Jones, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and affirmed the trial court's suppression of the defendant's escape and telephone call evidence, holding that the evidence was the fruit of an illegal detention that violated the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments and that the plea agreement did not waive the defendant's right to challenge the underlying facts.
