Gerald M. Brown v. State of Rhode Island

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court's dismissal of Gerald M. Brown's second post‑conviction relief application, holding that the hearing justice acted within statutory discretion, that Brown's newly discovered‑evidence claim was waived, that his unlawful‑incarceration argument misread the parole statute, and that his statute‑of‑limitations defense was both waived and meritless.
