August 6, 2014219 N.J. 1
Summary
The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the admission of the forensic report and Dr. Barbieri's testimony did not violate the Sixth Amendment Confrontation Clause because the supervising expert was knowledgeable, independently verified the results, and was available for cross‑examination. Justice Albin dissented, arguing that the defendant’s confrontation rights were infringed.
