Rule 3:18-1. Motion Before Submission to Jury


At the close of the States case or after the evidence of all parties has been closed, the court shall, on defendants motion or its own initiative, order the entry of a judgment of acquittal of one or more offenses charged in the indictment or accusation if the evidence is insufficient to warrant a conviction. A defendant may offer evidence after denial of a motion for judgment of acquittal made at the close of the States case without having reserved the right.
