State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. George Jenewicz, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the murder and weapon‑possession convictions of George Jenewicz, holding that the trial court’s exclusion of expert and character testimony and the prosecutor’s improper comments collectively denied a fair trial, and remanded for a new trial. Justice RABNER, dissenting, argued the errors were harmless and would have affirmed the convictions.
