Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Daniel Nwobu, Defendant-Appellant; State of New Jersey…

February 8, 1995139 N.J. 236

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the prosecutors did not commit a patent and gross abuse of discretion in denying pre‑trial intervention (PTI) to Daniel Nwobu or to Callender, Harris, and Overby, and that prosecution after successful PTI does not violate double‑jeopardy; the Court reversed the Appellate Division’s decision for the three defendants, affirmed the denial for Nwobu, and remanded both matters to the Law Division.
