STATE v. SOSA

No. 2001-184-C.A.

839 A.2d 519 (2003)

STATE v. Francisco SOSA.

Supreme Court of Rhode Island.

December 22, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jane M. McSoley, Aaron Weisman, Providence, for Plaintiff.

George J. West, Providence, for Defendant.

Present: WILLIAMS, C.J., FLANDERS, GOLDBERG, FLAHERTY, and SUTTELL, JJ.

OPINION

GOLDBERG, Justice.

In this appeal, the defendant, Francisco Sosa (defendant or Sosa), asks this Court to set aside his first-degree murder conviction and remand this case for a new trial. Sosa alleges that the trial justice made erroneous evidentiary rulings, mistakenly refused to instruct the jury on the offense of second-degree murder, permitted a constitutionally infirm jury panel, and erroneously denied his motion for a new trial.
