New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division April 29, 1998 (State v. Alexander)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

SKILLMAN, J.A.D.

This appeal involves a claim that defendant was denied due process of law because the negligence of the police in investigating the crime resulted in pre-indictment delay which impaired his ability to defend the charges.

Defendant was indicted for attempted murder, in violation of N.J.SA 2C:5-1 and N.J.S.A.
