STATE v. FROST

242 N.J. Super. 601 (1990)

577 A.2d 1282

STATE OF NEW JERSEY, PLAINTIFF-RESPONDENT, v. GREGORY FROST, A/K/A ABDUR SHARIF, DEFENDANT-APPELLANT.

Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division.

Decided July 16, 1990.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Thomas S. Smith, Jr., Acting Public Defender, attorney for appellant (Ann L. Kazanchy, Designated Counsel, of Counsel, on the brief).

Robert J. Del Tufo, Attorney General, attorney for respondent (Mildred Vallerini Spiller, Deputy attorney General, of Counsel, on the brief).

Before Judges MICHELS, DEIGHAN and COHEN.

The opinion of the court was delivered by DEIGHAN, J.A.D.

One issue on this appeal is the admissibility of "battered woman syndrome" evidence to bolster a victim's credibility in the prosecution of a defendant on an assault charge where the prosecutor sought to use a series of prior assaults on the victim and reconciliations over a period of time. We hold that such evidence is admissible as part of the State's case in chief.
