State v. Musterd
Annotate this Case
Defendant appealed from a superior court judgment of conviction for first-degree murder and three related crimes. On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial justice erred in denying his pretrial motions to suppress evidence and that the trial justice improperly denied his motions for a new trial and for a judgment of acquittal. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court, holding (1) the trial justice did not err in denying Defendant's motions to suppress; and (2) because the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant's convictions, the trial justice did not err when it denied Defendant's motions for a judgment of acquittal and for a new trial.
