State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Richard Feaster (Now Known as Sean Padraic Kenney), Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that the prosecutor's warning to a key defense witness substantially interfered with the witness's decision to testify, violating the defendant's state constitutional due process and compulsory process rights, and remanded the case for further PCR proceedings. Justice Rivera‑Soto dissented, arguing that the majority erred in finding prosecutorial interference and in ordering a remedy.
