State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Stanford Yough, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division’s grant of a new trial, holding that the trial court did not err in denying a mistrial despite inconsistencies in the victim’s testimony, and that the testimony was not inadmissible other‑crimes evidence. The court emphasized the deferential standard of review for trial‑court discretion and affirmed the conviction.
