State v. Delarosa
Annotate this CaseDefendant Yoneiry Delarosa appealed from a superior court judgment adjudicating him a violator of probation. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court, holding that the hearing justice did not err (1) by crediting the testimony of a witness after she was offered a favorable plea disposition by the State to testify against Defendant; (2) in overruling defense counsel's objection to certain testimony by the witness about which Defendant alleged he had not been apprised prior to the hearing because the witness revealed the information for the first time at the hearing and no written or recorded statement existed on this particular issue; and (3) by failing to allow defense counsel or Defendant the opportunity to address the court prior to sentencing, as the hearing justice correctly followed precedent in so ruling.
