State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Aurelio Chenique-Puey, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the joint trial of contempt of a domestic‑violence restraining order and terroristic‑threats charges unfairly prejudiced the defendant on the latter count, requiring severance; it affirmed the contempt conviction, vacated the terroristic‑threats conviction, and remanded for a new trial on that count.
