State v. Des Marets

In State v. Des Marets, 92 N.J. 62, 77, 455 A.2d 1074 (1983), the New Jersey Supreme Court held that courts could not suspend sentences containing minimum periods of parole ineligibility mandated by the Graves Act, N.J.S.A. 2C:43-6c to -6d. Des Marets rested on the Supreme Court's recognition of legislative intent that there be "absolute certainty" of incarceration. Id. at 88, 455 A.2d 1074.
