State v. Habeeb Robinson (A-40-16; 078900)

          Both the trial court and the Appellate Division directed
          the State to disclose the statements of two
          eyewitnesses, photos used in the identification process,
          any incident report of the crime prepared by the police,
          and a surveillance video.  Rule 3:4-2(c)(1)(B) required
          disclosure of the reports and the photos but not the
          video.  The Court also clarifies and reframes the Rule
          to help ensure that it strikes the proper balance
          between two important concerns:  a defendant’s liberty
          interest and the State’s ability to seek to detain high-
          risk defendants before trial.
