State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Peter Mann, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court reversed Peter Mann's convictions and remanded for a new trial because the trial court admitted evidence of Mann's post‑arrest suicide attempt without a Rule 8 hearing and failed to give a proper jury instruction on that evidence; the Court also clarified the limited admissibility of prior‑conviction impeachment evidence and affirmed the admissibility of fresh‑complaint testimony.
