State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Samander S. Dabas, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division's reversal of Samander Dabas's murder conviction, holding that the prosecutor violated Rule 3:13-3(b) by failing to disclose the investigator's handwritten interview notes and that the trial court erred by refusing to give an adverse‑inference charge. The Court ordered a new trial on the murder and lesser‑included offenses.
