2 sentences

2020We concluded that the admission of CSAAS expert testimony "severely impaired the defense's ability to test the victim's credibility" and "was 'sufficient to raise a reasonable doubt as to whether the error led the jury to a result it otherwise might not have reached.'" Id. at 465 (quoting Macon, 57 N.J. at 336 ).

2020Thus, the CSAAS testimony here likely "severely impaired the defense's ability to test the victim's credibility" which was "clearly capable of producing an unjust result," see G.E.P., 458 N.J.

1993When the Court reversed the death sentence in Williams II, it said that “the lack of significant information regarding jurors’ attitudes on a host of issues denied both parties the ability to challenge jurors for cause, and perhaps most importantly left the trial court unable to fairly evaluate the-fitness of many of the jurors to serve.” 113 N.J. at 408 , 550 A.2d 1172 (emphasis added).
