Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Joseph Santos

June 16, 20102010 R.I. LEXIS 82

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Joseph Santos, holding that the trial judge properly admitted the defendant’s blood‑alcohol test results. The Court found the subpoena for the medical records was valid despite the lack of an affidavit, and that constitutional Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment claims were inapplicable because there was no state action.
