February 18, 20112011 R.I. LEXIS 17

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction of Kendall Johnson, holding that the trial court did not err in admitting testimony about the defendant’s nickname because it was not hearsay and was merely cumulative. The Court applied a clear‑abuse‑of‑discretion standard to the evidentiary rulings and found no reversible prejudice.
