State v. Tabora
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant’s conviction of two counts of second-degree child molestation sexual assault, holding that the trial justice did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the evidence presented at trial raised serious doubt about the allegations and that the trial justice overlooked and misconceived material evidence. The Supreme Court disagreed, holding (1) the trial justice conducted an appropriate analysis of the evidence presented, evaluated the credibility of the witnesses, and assessed the weight of the evidence; (2) the trial justice did not err in determining that sufficient credible evidence was submitted to support the verdict on both counts; and (3) therefore, the trial justice did not err in denying Defendant’s motion for a new trial.
