State of New Jersey, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Isiah T. McNeal, A/k/a Isiah T. McNeil, and Isaiah McNeal…

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the defendant was adequately warned that jail‑credit calculations would not necessarily reduce his parole ineligibility, that no material misrepresentation occurred, and that the allocation of jail credits complied with New Jersey law. The court emphasized that a plea must be entered knowingly and voluntarily and that credits cannot exceed actual time served.
