State v. Chiaradio

1 Citing case

  1. STATE v. McGOVERN, W1/97-0053 (1998)

    No. W1/97-0053 (B) (C) (R.I. Super. Apr. 24, 1998)

    In the last case of the trinity, State v. Chiaridio, the Rhode Island Supreme Court was presented with the specific certified question: "Is the criminal prosecution under Section 11-10-1 of an unmarried consenting heterosexual adult who engages in an act of cunnilingus prohibited by the defendant's constitutional right to equal protection of the laws?" 660 A.2d 276, 277 (R.I. 1995). Although the Court purported to address the equal protection issue in its brief opinion, a close reading of the opinion reveals that it failed to do so.
