A Photographic Array Appeal for the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court announced today that it has granted review in State v. Anthony.  The question presented, as phrased by the Supreme Court Clerk’s office, is “Is defendant entitled to a new trial based on the police officer’s failure to record verbatim the comments of the witness while identifying defendant from a photographic array?”  The Law Division ruled against defendant on this issue, and the Appellate Division, in an unpublished per curiam opinion, affirmed.
