Supreme Court of Rhode Island

State v. Juan Gibson

April 4, 2023

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, finding that the trial judge’s omission of a specific‑intent robbery instruction did not prejudice the state’s burden of proof, that the denial of the defendant’s motions for judgment of acquittal on felony‑murder and conspiracy counts was proper, and that the denial of the motion for a new trial was likewise proper.
