Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Craig C. Price v. Ashbel T. Wall

December 2, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 143

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Family Court’s denial of post‑conviction relief, holding that Price’s double‑jeopardy claim fails, his Fifth Amendment privilege does not bar forced treatment, his counsel was not ineffective, his twenty‑five‑year sentence was not excessive, and the revocation of his suspended sentence was proper. The Court relied on prior holdings and applied de novo review to each constitutional claim.
