06-20-08 State of New Jersey v. Maribel Rolon, et al.
A-1049-06T4
In this appeal, we reverse defendant's conviction for
first-degree robbery and remand for a new trial. Although the
jury determined defendant was armed with a deadly weapon——a
knife——the court committed reversible error when it instructed:
"defendant's intent with respect to the [knife] is irrelevant."
