State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. David Goodwin, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant's second post‑conviction petition was barred by the five‑year limitation of Rule 3:22‑12, that the vehicle search was justified by probable cause as a search incident to a lawful arrest, and that the defendant failed to establish a prima facie claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.
