State v. Garcia
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of first-degree murder and related crimes. Defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment on the murder count. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial court erred by denying his motion to suppress the confession he made to the police, denying his motion for a new trial, and making certain evidentiary rulings at trial. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the court properly denied Defendant’s motion to suppress; (2) the challenged evidentiary rulings were correctly made; and (3) the trial justice did not overlook or misconceive material evidence in denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial.
