Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Edward Delossantos

March 13, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the defendant’s mid‑trial waiver of counsel was timely and was made voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently, and therefore the trial judge did not err in denying the defendant’s motion for a new trial, including the interest‑of‑justice and weight‑of‑evidence arguments.
