State v. Muralles
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of two counts of first-degree child molestation and two counts of second-degree child molestation. Defendant appealed, arguing that the trial justice erred in denying his motion for a new trial due to the purported lack of credibility on the part of the complaining witness and his half-brother and inconsistencies in their testimonies concerning the alleged molestations. The Supreme Court affirmed the superior court’s judgment of conviction, holding that the trial justice neither clearly erred nor overlooked or misconceived relevant evidence and that the trial justice properly denied Defendant’s motion for a new trial.
