"Court tackles intimidation of witnesses; N.J. justices urge Legislature to protect threatened people"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Court tackles intimidation of witnesses; N.J. justices urge Legislature to protect threatened people": Today's edition of The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger contains an article that begins, "New Jersey's highest court waded into the growing problem of witness intimidation yesterday, recommending the Legislature create a law denying defense lawyers the right to cross-examine people who had been threatened. The state Supreme Court recommended lawmakers enact a measure saying the statement of an intimidated witness -- taken earlier by police or prosecutors -- could be used at trial, even if the person had become too frightened to take the stand."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the Supreme Court of New Jersey at this link.
