Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Christopher Langstaff.

May 11, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 58

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court vacated Christopher Langstaff’s conviction and remanded for a new trial, holding that the trial judge erred by admitting shower‑testimony as Rule 404(b) evidence after untimely disclosure, a clear error under Rule 16. The Court affirmed the trial judge’s dismissal of the second count because the prosecution’s late disclosure warranted that judgment.
