Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Edward Delossantos

March 13, 2023

Summary

The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the defendant's mid‑trial waiver of counsel was timely, voluntary, knowing and intelligent, and therefore valid, and that the trial judge did not err in denying the defendant's motion for a new trial on both the interest‑of‑justice and weight‑of‑evidence grounds.
