A case argued Tuesday at the New Jersey Supreme Court tests how far a judge may go in allowing unsupervised jury views of videotaped testimony.

The Appellate Division found in State v. A.R., A-63-11, that a view outside the presence of the judge and counsel were reversible error and awarded a new trial to a Monmouth County man found guilty of sexually assaulting his wife’s 9-year-old niece.
