State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Bryden Robert Williams, A/K/A Lance Riddick, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the murder conviction, holding that the defendant waived his Confrontation Clause claim by failing to object to the testimony of a substitute medical examiner and by cross‑examining that witness. The Court declined to address the merits of the confrontation argument and remanded only to correct a typographical error in the grading of a gun‑possession charge.
