State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. John Martini, Sr., Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed John Martini's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that the statutory aggravating factors and the admission of threat statements were proper, that the voir dire was constitutionally adequate, and that the trial court's refusal to submit the c(5)(g) mitigating factor was harmless. Justice Handler, dissenting, would have reversed the conviction and sentence.
