State v. Mallett

OPINION

SHEA, Justice.

This matter comes before the Supreme Court on the defendant’s appeal from a judgment of conviction of first-degree murder in the Superior Court. We affirm.

Peter Willard (Willard) died on the morning of April 10, 1988, as a result of several blows to his head by a blunt object. After investigation Providence police arrested defendant, Douglas Mallett (Mallett), and he was indicted by the grand jury of Providence County on a charge of murder. At trial the jury found Mallett guilty of first-degree murder. He was sentenced to life imprisonment.
