                     State v. Kareem T. Tillery (A-37-17) (079832)

Argued November 27, 2018 -- Decided June 19, 2019

PATTERSON, J., writing for the Court.

        Defendant Kareem T. Tillery was convicted of second-degree unlawful possession
of a weapon and a fourth-degree offense. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on the
remaining charges against him. The trial court sentenced defendant to an extended term,
and the Appellate Division upheld defendant’s conviction and sentence. The Court
considers defendant’s contention that the trial court improperly admitted into evidence
his statement to police because he did not expressly or implicitly waive his rights under
Miranda v. Arizona,
