State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Ambrose A. Harris, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the murder convictions and death sentence of Ambrose A. Harris, holding that the trial court's denial of a change of venue, its limited voir dire regarding publicity, and its refusal to sequester the jury did not violate Harris's due‑process rights. The Court also rejected Harris's challenges to evidentiary rulings and jury instructions, while noting dissenting and partially concurring opinions that would have vacated the death sentence.
