STATE v. WRIGHT


61 N.J. 146 (1972)

293 A.2d 380

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-APPELLANT v. ARTHUR WRIGHT, JR., DEFENDANT-RESPONDENT.

The Supreme Court of New Jersey.

Decided July 21, 1972.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. David Noah Dubrow, Assistant Prosecutor, argued the cause for appellant (Mr. Joseph P. Lordi, Essex County Prosecutor, attorney; Mr. Dubrow, of counsel, and on the brief; Mr. Donald H. Steckroth, Legal Assistant, on the brief).

Mr. Thomas E. Bracken, Assistant Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for respondent (Mr. Stanley C. Van Ness, Public Defender, attorney; Mr. Bracken, of counsel, and on the brief).


The opinion of the Court was delivered by MOUNTAIN, J.

Defendant appealed to the Appellate Division from his conviction of the crime of possessing narcotic drugs. Resting its decision upon what it conceived to be the inadequacy of the affidavit submitted to the magistrate to establish probable cause for the issuance of a search warrant, that court, in an unreported opinion, reversed the conviction. We granted the State's petition for certification.
