Donald Lisi v. Town of Glocester, A.A. No. 10-0068 6th Amendment

Defendant appealed the decision of the Appeals Panel sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-14-2 (prima facie limits).  The defendant argued that he was denied the right, under the Sixth Amendment, to confront his accuser.  However, the Court held that the defendant’s rights were not violated because the officer in question was present and available for cross examination at trial.  Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation against the defendant.
