State v. Navarro
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant Miguel Navarro was convicted of first-degree child molestation sexual assault. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court, holding that the trial justice did not abuse her discretion in (1) denying Defendant's motion for a sixty-day continuance prior to trial, after considering the totality of the circumstances surrounding the motion; (2) denying Defendant's motions for judgment of acquittal, where the evidence was sufficient to withstand the motion; and (3) denying Defendant's motion for a new trial, where the trial justice provided sufficient reasoning in support of her ruling and the evidence was sufficient to withstand the motion.
