Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Cesare Decredico

April 4, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court held that the trial justice erred in upholding the Sex Offender Board’s level‑II risk classification because the state failed to show that the STABLE‑2007 is a validated tool for non‑contact offenders and that the board used reasonable means to collect the information, and therefore vacated the Superior Court judgment and remanded for a new determination.
