How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that \[a] jury charge on voluntary intoxication is required only if there exists a 'rational basis for the conclusion that [the] defendant's \faculties\ were so \prostrated\ A-3864-17T4 10 that he or she was incapable of forming' the requisite intent\
- allowing a superseding indictment to add more charges when the addition of the charges was not vindictive
- affirming an extended term and consecutive sentences because the crimes were separate and occurred over a three-day period
- \We recognize the general reluctance of counsel to object during a summation yet recognize that an objection immediately following summation does permit curative action by the judge. Silence on the part of counsel and a subsequent motion for a new trial cannot be condoned.\
