Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Benny Hogan, Jr., Defendant-Respondent

May 23, 1996144 N.J. 216

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded, holding that a prosecutor’s duty to present exculpatory evidence to a grand jury is limited to evidence that both directly negates guilt and is clearly exculpatory; the victim’s recantation did not meet that standard.
