Proceed101 v. State of Ridgeway

Disposition

Affirmed.

Warren, C.J., Jackson, and Hand, JJ.

Summary

On certiorari from the Superior Court, the Court held that trial judges may set time limits (here, 30 minutes per side) on witness examinations to ensure efficient administration of justice, and that the lower court did not abuse its discretion or violate the petitioner's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights, since the petitioner accepted the limit, never sought an extension, and showed no articulable prejudice. Conviction for second-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon affirmed.
