State v. Adams & State v. Comer

3-26-08 (A-103-06) & (A-116-06)

On this record, the Court declines to reevaluate the standards for the admissibility of out-of-court identifications. Under
current standards, there was sufficient credible evidence to affirm the trial court’s decision to admit the identification
testimony. It was not plain error for the trial court to fail to give a cautionary charge on the use of Harrison’s testimony
and guilty plea. Finally, defendants’ presumptive sentences, imposed prior to State v. Natale, do not require remands.
