How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

upholding the denial of a defendant’s motion to pass arising from allegedly prejudicial testimony because the defendant had declined the trial justice’s offer of curative instructions
refusing to allow a defendant to renege on his counsel’s trial strategy and argue that the trial justice erred in failing to give a cautionary instruction when the trial justice had indeed offered such and defense counsel had requested that it not be given
\we are unable to comprehend how several rulings which individually are not erroneous can cumulatively constitute prejudicial error.\
