Supreme Court of Rhode Island

Frederick W. Bonn v. Amanda Pepin

January 7, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 20

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s denial of the defendant’s Rule 59 motion for a new trial and remittitur, holding that the trial justice properly evaluated the evidence and was not clearly wrong. The Court reiterated that appellate review of such decisions is limited to a clear‑error standard and that the trial justice acted as a superjuror in weighing expert testimony on proximate cause.
