NEW JERSEY DIVORCE ATTORNEY : HYPNOSIS

Hypnotically refreshed testimony of a witness in a criminal trial is generally inadmissible. State v. Hurd [which established guidelines for the admissibility of such testimony] should no longer be followed in New Jersey. It remains to be seen whether this rejection will carry over into New Jersey divorce and New Jersey family law cases. Justice Rivera-Soto concurred in part and dissented in part.    State v. Moore, ___ N.J. ___ (2006); New Jersey Supreme Court, August 14, 2006
