T10-0049 Credibility

Defendant appealed the decision of the trial judge sustaining the violation of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-14-2 (prima facie limits).  The Court held that the trial magistrate did not abuse his discretion when, after weighting the testimony before him, he decided to believe the officer’s testimony that the defendant had in fact violated the posted limits. Accordingly, the Court sustained the violation against the defendant.
