Stalking is stalking, whether or not the defendant appreciates that his conduct would reasonably arouse fear in the quarry, the New Jersey Supreme Court says. The justices affirmed a conviction under the state's anti-stalking law, rejecting the defense that the defendant's intentions were purely romantic. "The claimed innocent intention of one with an unrequited love interest in another does not permit an individual to stalk the other with impunity," Justice Jaynee LaVecchia wrote.
