State v. Brown
Annotate this CaseFollowing a jury trial, Defendant Kayborn Brown was convicted of first-degree robbery and sentenced to forty years' incarceration. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of conviction, holding that the trial justice (1) did not err in denying Defendant's motion to suppress complainant's out-of-court identification from a photographic array, as the identification was not impermissibly suggestive or improperly tainted; and (2) did not abuse its discretion under R.I. R. Evid. 403 by denying Defendant's motion in limine to exclude evidence of a fraudulent charge to the complainant's credit card that occurred shortly after the robbery, as the evidence connected Defendant to the crime.
