The appellant was charged with speeding (74 in a 50 zone) contrary to the Highway Traffic Act.
He was convicted on May 18, 2011, after failing to appear for trial on three separate occasions.
The appellant appealed, contending that the trial justice erred in refusing to grant a third adjournment.
The court found that the trial justice properly exercised discretion in denying the adjournment request, as the defendant had already been granted two adjournments and failed to present compelling evidence or documentation to support the third request.
