2010-59-M.P.
2010-184-C.A State v. Adrian Shepard (show cause)

In these consolidated cases, the defendant seeks review of a Superior Court adjudication of probation violation and appeals from the denial of his motion to correct and reconsider the sentence he received for violating his probation. The defendant contends that the hearing justice acted unreasonably and arbitrarily in finding him to be a violator because the testimony of the complaining witness was not credible. He also argues that his motion to reconsider should have been granted.
