State v. Marte
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of possession with intent to deliver cocaine. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred by not excluding evidence that he was carrying cash at the time of his arrest and in denying him any remedy for the State’s late disclosure of that evidence. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court, holding that the trial justice did not abuse its discretion in admitting the evidence, as the fact that Defendant had some amount of cash on his person at the time of the arrest was not unfairly prejudicial evidence.
