Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Alyssa A. Aiello, Assistant Deputy Public Defender, argued the cause for appellant (Yvonne Smith Segars, Public Defender, attorney).

Robyn B. Mitchell, Deputy Attorney General, argued the cause for respondent (Stuart J. Rabner, Attorney General of New Jersey, attorney).
