Right to Appeal
Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test). Defendant argued that the summons was defective, however, the Court held that the defendant waived his right to appeal that issue by failing to raise it at trial. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the trial court sustaining the charge against the defendant. R. Jason Gulati v. RITT, A.A. No. 07-12 (October 25, 2007).pdf

R. Jason Gulati v. RITT, A.A. No. 07-12 Sworn Report
Sworn Report
Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test). The Court held that although the officer’s sworn report was not signed, the trial court did not commit any error because it based its decision to sustain the charge on the evidence adduced at trial, namely the sworn testimony of the officer, not the sworn report. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the decision of the trial court sustaining the charge against the defendant. R. Jason Gulati v. RITT, A.A. No. 07-12 (October 25, 2007).pdf
