State v. Kenneth Pitts

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Kenneth Pitts for disorderly conduct, holding that the trial judge correctly denied his motions for judgment of acquittal and properly admitted evidence of a used condom and nude photographs. The Court found the evidence sufficient under the statute and that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in evidentiary rulings. The decision also clarified that exposure to a police officer satisfies the statutory element of "view of others."
