R. Jason Gulati v. RITT, A.A. No. 07-12 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.
