State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Anthony K. Cole, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey reversed the Appellate Division and remanded, holding that the trial court properly admitted the video segments of the defendant alone under N.J.R.E. 401 and 403, that the lack of a limiting instruction was not plain error, and that the prosecutor's comments, though beyond the limited purpose, did not constitute plain error. The Court emphasized the deferential abuse‑of‑discretion standard for evidentiary rulings.
