Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Geornando Vargas

June 23, 201121 A.3d 347

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court's judgment, holding that the trial justice correctly denied the defendant's motions for judgment of acquittal and for a new trial because the circumstantial evidence was sufficient and the trial justice did not misconceive the testimony. The Court applied established standards for reviewing such motions and found no error.
