State v. Nathan Cooper
Syllabus
The defendant, Nathan Cooper, appealed from a judgment of conviction and commitment following a jury trial held in the Providence County Superior Court. The defendant was charged with nine counts stemming from a shooting that occurred in March of 2022. On appeal, the defendant contended that the trial justice erred in denying his motion to suppress tangible evidence seized as the result of a warrantless search of his apartment. After carefully considering the defendant's argument, the Supreme Court held that the trial justice did not err in denying the defendant's motion to suppress. Accordingly, the Court affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court.
