State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. W.b.

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's convictions, holding that CSAAS expert testimony may not be used to comment on a victim's credibility, that destroyed police notes may give rise to an adverse inference but none was ordered here, and that the defendant's confession was admissible. The Court also remanded for resentencing on the endangering conviction to address Yarbough sentencing factors and a jail‑credit discrepancy.
