1. “There are times, even in the absence of prejudice to a defendant, when it is essential to insure future observance of a prescribed practice safeguard or the vindication of a fundamental principle that courts should not hesitate to reverse. When the integrity of the process is at stake, prejudice is not a precondition to successfully asserting impairment of the fundamental right of proper jury selection. [ State v. Wagner, supra, 180 N.J.Super. at 567 , 435 A. 2d 1190 ]. .... When the integrity of the jury selection process has been compromised to the extent involved here, prejudice to defendant will be presumed. When the judge left G.B. in the jury box to punish her, defendant's constitutional right to a fair and impartial jury was compromised. [ State v. Tyler, supra, 176 N.J. at 182 , 821 A. 2d 1139 .]”
