2016By not applying here the Supreme Court's definition and analysis in Rumblin, the majority opinion prevents the prosecution of all other accomplices, co-conspirators, and masterminds when DNA analysis cracks "dormant or 'cold' cases." See State v. L.H., 206 N.J. 528, 532 (2011) (Long, J., concurring) (quoting id. at 550 (Rivera-Soto, J., concurring)).8 This ruling will significantly limit the ability to use N.J.S.A. 2C:1-6(c) to prosecute cold cases.
