April Kuzdeba v. RITT, A.A. No. A.A. No. 02-82 Constitutional Issues

Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel reversing the trail magistrate’s dismissal of the violation of R.I.G.L. § 31-27-2.1 (refusal to submit to a chemical test).  The District Court held that it was not improper for the state to ask what the trial magistrate would expect the state to prove in future cases.  The Court held that this would not warrant a reversal even if it were improper.  Accordingly, the District Court affirmed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation against the defendant.
