State v. Sheridan
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the superior court's entry of a judgment of conviction and commitment reflecting the fact that a jury found Defendant guilty of one count of first-degree sexual assault, holding that the trial justice did not abuse its discretion.
Specifically, the Supreme Court held (1) the trial justice did not abuse its discretion in allowing an expert witness to testify after the State's late disclosure and fashioning a remedy in reaction to the late disclosure; (2) the trial justice did not abuse its discretion when he admitted the expert testimony because the testimony did not invade the province of the jury; and (3) Defendant's remaining argument was waived.
