the New Jersey Supreme Court overturned Charles Reddish's conviction.

the New Jersey Supreme Court overturned Charles Reddish's conviction. In February 1991, Dede Rosenthal vanished. Four years later, Charles Reddish, who worked and lived in Rosenthal's apartment complex, confessed to murdering the 32-year-old woman but later recanted. He was eventually tried, convicted and sentenced to death. Today the state Supreme Court overturned the conviction after concluding he did not receive a fair trial. Camden County Prosecutor Vincent Sarubbi said Reddish, now 43, will be retried "at the earliest possible time." The high court, in a 6-0 decision by Justice James Zazzali, concluded the judge who presided at Reddish's 2001 trial improperly gave jurors "a one-sided picture of the evidence at trial." The justices also concluded that jurors should not have been told that, at the time he confessed to killing Rosenthal, Reddish had been arrested "on charges unrelated to this case." Zazzali said those two errors may have prejudiced jurors against Reddish in a case "with little independent physical evidence." Rosenthal's body has never been found. Reddish is also serving two life terms for murdering his girlfriend, Rebecca Wertz, and sexually assaulting her 14-year-old daughter.
