J.B.'s Law is a proposed amendment to the New Jersey Rules of Evidence that seeks to exclude creative or artistic expressions, specifically in audio or video formats, from being considered as evidence in criminal proceedings. This resolution arises from concerns that such expressions, particularly those from rap and hip-hop artists, have been unfairly used against defendants in court, leading to prejudicial outcomes. The law is named after Edgar Jamal Gamory, known as J.B., whose conviction was partly based on his music lyrics and videos. The resolution argues that the admission of such evidence violates the Confrontation Clause of the New Jersey Constitution and the First Amendment's protection of free speech.

The proposed amendments to the Rules of Evidence would explicitly state that a defendant's creative or artistic expressions cannot be used as evidence or for impeachment in criminal cases. This change aims to prevent the introduction of potentially inflammatory and prejudicial material that does not significantly contribute to proving a defendant's motive or intent. By focusing on more relevant evidence, the resolution intends to ensure fairer trials and protect artistic expression from being misused in legal contexts. If adopted by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, these changes would take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature.
