General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

Syllabus
Petitioner’s request for federal habeas corpus, on the ground that the prosecution concealed the existence of a promise to recommend a specific sentence or leniency for an accomplice who testified for the State against petitioner, was rejected by the District Court and the Court of Appeals. Thereafter, the New Jersey Supreme Court granted petitioner’s codefendant a new trial after a court hearing on similar allegations.
Held: The case, in light of the State Supreme Court’s action, is remanded to the District Court for reconsideration, which may include whether petitioner must first exhaust any available state remedies.
Vacated and remanded.
