State v. Rego
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the superior court convicting Defendant of assault with a dangerous weapon and other firearm-related counts stemming from a shooting incident, holding that the trial justice did not err in denying Defendant's motion for a new trial.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial justice erred by overlooking or ignoring material evidence that Defendant asserted provided another person with an equal opportunity to commit the charged offenses. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was no error in the trial justice's application of the required three-step analysis; and (2) the trial justice did not overlook or misconceive material evidence in denying Defendant's motion for a new trial.
