1. Trial Court to
examine if confession based on false promise of leniency. State v.
Hreha 217 NJ 368 (2014)
The record lacks
sufficient credible evidence to support the trial court's finding that
defendant was not offered leniency in exchange for his confession. The matter
is remanded for a new Miranda hearing to allow a trial court to make fresh
credibility and factual findings, after which the trial court may decide what
weight, if any, to assign to any promises of leniency when it applies the
totality-of-the-circumstances test.
2. PTI not
available after guilty verdict. State v. Bell 217 NJ 336
(2014)
PTI is a
pretrial diversionary program that is not available to a defendant once the
charges have been tried before a judge or a jury and a guilty verdict has been
returned.
3. Suppression
granted where stop based on driver high beams on. State v. Witt 435
NJ Super. 608 (App. Div. 2014)
The court
granted leave to appeal an order granting defendant's motion to suppress
evidence seized during a warrantless search of his vehicle. The court affirmed
not only because it is bound by State v. Pena-Flores, 198 N.J. 6 (2009), and
its many antecedents, and not only because no exigencies for the search were
revealed during the suppression hearing, but also because there was no
legitimate basis for the motor vehicle stop that preceded the search. In this
last regard, the record demonstrated that the police officer stopped
defendant's vehicle because defendant did not dim his high beams as he drove by
the officer's parked patrol vehicle. Because the patrol vehicle was not an
"oncoming vehicle," and because there were no other "oncoming
vehicles" on the road at the time, the police officer did not have
objectively reasonable grounds to believe defendant had violated the high-beam
statute, N.J.S.A. 39:3-60, in making the vehicle stop.
