State v. Olayinka Alege

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the conviction and sentence of Olayinka Alege, holding that the trial justice did not err in denying the Franks hearing, in granting the State’s Rule 404(b) motion in limine, in refusing to recuse, and in imposing the sentence. The Court found the trial judge’s discretionary rulings were proper and within the bounds of established legal standards.
