State v. Matthew Peckham

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial judge’s refusal to admit the juvenile record of a witness was, at most, harmless error; that the so‑called “blinky” statement was admissible as non‑hearsay; and that the trial judge did not abuse discretion in denying the motions for a new trial and for judgment of acquittal.
