Town of Middletown v. Marvette Neal, C.A. No. T14-0032 (April 29, 2015)

The Defendant appealed the trial magistrate’s decision to sustain the charged violations of R.I.G.L. 1956 § 31-14-2 (speed over 11 miles per house) and § 31-15-11 (laned roadway violations). The Defendant argued that the trial magistrate erred in believing the Officer’s testimony over his own. The Panel held that since the trial magistrate determined that the Officer’s testimony was credible and sufficient to sustain the changed violation, the trial magistrate did not err in sustaining the violation. Accordingly, the Panel upheld the trial magistrate’s decision to sustain the violation.
