Supreme Court of New Jersey

State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Shaquan Hyppolite

December 11, 2018236 N.J. 154

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court held that when the State fails to disclose exculpatory evidence before a pre‑trial detention hearing, the trial court must apply a “reasonable possibility” materiality standard and, if that standard is met, reopen the hearing; the Court therefore reversed the lower court’s denial and remanded for a new detention hearing.
