Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Nancy D'Anna, Esq., St. John, PR, for Appellant.

Maureen Phelan, Esq., Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, St. Thomas, PR, for Appellee.

Before RAYMOND L. FINCH, Chief Judge, District Court of the Virgin Islands; THOMAS K. MOORE, Judge of the District Court of the Virgin Islands; and DARRYL DEAN DONOHUE, Judge of the Territorial Court, Sitting by Designation.


OPINION OF THE COURT

PER CURIAM.

I. SUMMARY

Appellant Bellot argues that the Territorial Court abused its discretion by improperly denying appellant's motion for acquittal because he suffered from a mental illness, and that his actions were a direct result of that illness. Because the trial court's findings of fact are not clearly erroneous, this Court will affirm Bellot's conviction.
