STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. QURAN GOODMAN
A-1329-07T4
08-09-10
This appeal required us to determine whether evidence
concerning gang membership and rivalry is admissible to prove
motive in a murder case. Basing our review on N.J.R.E. 404(b)
and State v. Cofield, 127 N.J. 328 (1992), we concluded that
such evidence was properly admitted. We also upheld the
admission of consciousness-of-guilt evidence, again analyzing
the issue using N.J.R.E. 404(b) and Cofield.
