State v. Cook

OPINION

Justice INDEGLIA,

for the Court.

At the end of a trial held in Kent County Superior Court, a jury found the defendant, James Cook (defendant or Cook), guilty of twenty-two counts ranging from first-degree sexual assault to identity fraud. On appeal, Cook contends that the trial justice committed reversible error in denying his motion for a mistrial after the jury heard testimony that he had been on probation and also in admitting evidence of other prior sexual misconduct. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we affirm the judgment of the Superior Court.
