2019However, upon reviewing the State's contention of waiver, we invited defendant to submit a supplemental brief on the subject, and have considered that additional submission. 3 Having now done so, we agree with the State that defendant failed to preserve his right to appeal the trial court's allowance of the buccal swab evidence. 3 We also invited counsel to address whether the Supreme Court's recent grant of leave to appeal in In re the Investigation of Burglary & Theft, 236 N.J. 629 (2019), a case that concerns DNA buccal swab applications, should affe ct our consideration of this appeal.

2017Indeed, "[t]rial courts must understand, as well, that nothing is more important than that they set the atmosphere of calm, unhurried, and studied deliberation that is the hallmark of a fair trial." Id. at 60 . 14 A-0347-15T1 The defendant argues this charge served as the functional equivalent of an Allen charge, because it stressed judicial economy and stated minority jurors "'should' reconsider their views in light of the majority jurors' beliefs." We disagree with the State's contention that the error was not clearly capable of producing an unjust result.

1997Nonetheless, the court reversed the aggravated manslaughter conviction, noting that the State’s contention that the error did not extend to that conviction “assumes one major premise that we cannot accept: it assumes that the jury inevitably proceeded on a step-by-step basis to consider murder first, and then aggravated manslaughter.” 102 N.J. at 146, 506 A.2d 708 .
