• holding that law-of-the-case applies to successive motions to suppress
• affirming trial justice’s refusal to instruct jury on voluntary manslaughter because five to fifteen minutes elapsed between alleged passion-producing event and the killing
• rejecting defendant’s heat-of-passion contention, in part, because defendant admitted he was not “mad” and witnesses testified that he did not appear to be upset
• “When a defendant has pleaded self-defense, [the defendant] may introduce evidence of [the] adversary’s reputation for violent behavior in order to show either the reasonableness of the defendant’s fear at being injured or the fact that the adversary was the aggressor.”
