Bleau v. Wall

OPINION

WILLIAMS, Chief Justice.

The state asks this Court to reverse a Superior Court hearing justice’s order granting Carlton J. Bleau’s (Bleau) application for post-conviction relief based on newly discovered evidence.

The state further contends that the hearing justice erred in determining that the newly discovered evidence was material. We agree with the state.
