State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Kassey Benjamin, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that a defendant seeking a waiver of the mandatory minimum sentence under the Graves Act is not entitled to discovery of the prosecutor’s files from other cases where waivers were granted, affirming the Appellate Division’s judgment as modified; Justice Albin dissented, arguing that limited discovery is necessary to detect arbitrary or discriminatory waiver decisions.
