The State charged the defendant with conspiring to kidnap and murder the grandson of a former Camden City Council member. At the detention hearing, the State had minimal evidence to support the charges, but the judge found probable cause based primarily on still shots captured from a surveillance camera at a convenience store. The defendant appealed to the Appellate Division seeking to reverse the order finding probable cause. During pre-trial motions practice, the defendant sought to preclude the State from having any witness testify that the person depicted in the video was the defendant.
