State v. Lopez
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of murder in the first degree, discharging a firearm during a crime of violence, and conspiracy to commit murder. Defendant filed a motion for a new trial, arguing that the weight of the evidence did not support the verdicts in this case. The trial justice denied the motion. Thereafter, Defendant was sentenced to two mandatory consecutive sentences of life imprisonment for the murder and firearm convictions. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgments of convictions, holding that the trial justice did not overlook or misconceive material evidence or clearly err when he credited the testimony of Defendant’s co-conspirators.
