State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Thomas F. Kromphold, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the trial court improperly double‑counted the defendant's intoxication as an aggravating factor for sentencing, but correctly considered the gravity and seriousness of the victims' injuries. The Court affirmed the Appellate Division's reduction of the sentence for the intoxication factor, reversed its further reduction based on the seriousness‑of‑harm factor, and remanded for resentencing.
