Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Charles Kenner

June 17, 2022

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court judgments finding Charles Kenner violated his probation by failing to keep the peace and be of good behavior. The Court held that the hearing justice’s reliance on inconsistent testimony was not arbitrary or capricious and that the evidence met the preponderance standard. It also exercised discretionary jurisdiction to review a judgment lacking a formal notice of appeal.
