Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Ahmad Daniels, A/K/A Ahmad Daniel, Defendant-Appellant

December 14, 2004182 N.J. 80

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed Ahmad Daniels' robbery conviction and remanded for a new trial, holding that the prosecutor's generic accusations that the defendant tailored his testimony because he heard other witnesses violated the defendant's rights and constituted reversible error. The Court also ruled that the trial court's jury instruction failed to cure the prejudice.
