Governor Brendan T. Byrne is re-elected to a second term with 55.7% of the vote, defeating former Republican State Senator Raymond Bateman who receives 41.8%. Byrne's victory--in an election focused on his support of the state's first income tax--caps one of the most remarkable comebacks in the state's political history as he recovers from polls which reported that he trailed Bateman by nearly 20% at the beginning of the campaign.

U.S. District Court Judge H. Lee Sarokin releases his decision to issue a writ of habeas corpus freeing from prison former middleweight boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter who had been convicted of the murders.in 1966 of two white men and a woman in a Paterson bar., stating that “The extensive record clearly demonstrates that [the] petitioners’ convictions were predicated upon an appeal to racism rather than reason, and concealment rather than disclosure.” The judge found that prosecutors had improperly suggested to the jury that racial revenge was the motive for the murders and also had withheld evidence in the trial of Carter and his co-defendant John Artis. Carter had spent most of the past 19 years in New Jersey prisons, serving two consecutive life sentences for the murders. Artis was released on parole in 1981, after serving nearly 15 years of a life sentence. The case had sparked national attention, with protest marches including heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali and was the focus of the song "Hurricane" co-written by Bob Dylan first released in 1975 after Dylan had visited Carter in Rahway State Prison.
