State of New Jersey v. Gary Twiggs, Defendant-Respondent. State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Appellant-Cross-Respondent…

Summary

The Court held that the DNA‑tolling exception in N.J.S.A. 2C:1-6(c) applies only when DNA evidence directly identifies the defendant, so the indictments against Gary Twiggs and the substantive charges against James and Likisha Jones were dismissed. The Court also affirmed the denial of the motion to dismiss the conspiracy count in State v. Jones, finding the alleged conspiracy to be a continuing offense that tolled the statute of limitations.
