Syllabus

On July 30, 2012, three persons were brutally murdered in the Arbor Glen housing complex in Providence during an attempted robbery that took a tragic turn. Then-sixteen-year-old Quandell Husband (defendant) was indicted, tried, and convicted of three counts of first-degree murder, three counts of discharging a firearm while committing a crime of violence, and one count of conspiracy to commit robbery. The defendant appealed his conviction and sentence to the Supreme Court, which concluded that that the trial justice erred by not excluding certain evidence of an unrelated shooting under an analysis pursuant to Rule 403 of the Rhode Island Rules of Evidence. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of conviction and remanded the case for a new trial.
