State v. Kelly
Annotate this CaseShianna Kelly was found guilty by jury of entering a dwelling with the intent to commit larceny. Kelly appealed on the ground that the trial justice erred in denying her motion for a new trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the trial justice performed the correct analysis in deciding defendant's motion for a new trial and was not clearly wrong in denying the motion; (2) the trial judge did not err in refusing to grant a new trial on the basis that the judge allowed testimony after a discovery violation; and (3) the issue of whether a surveillance DVD and photographs were properly admitted at trial was not properly preserved for appellate review.
