State v. Armour
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of one count of second-degree child molestation. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the trial justice did not err in (1) denying Defendant’s motion to suppress an incriminating confession he gave to the police while in custody because the statement was given voluntarily; (2) permitting an attending physician at a child protection program who had examined the victim on the night of the incident to testify regarding the explanation of a normal examination over defense counsel’s objection; and (3) denying Defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal, as there was sufficient evidence to support the conviction.
