Supreme Court of Rhode Island February 26, 2001, 98-41-C.A. (State v. Breen)

OPINION

LEDERBERG, Justice.

The decisive issues in this case are whether the defendant, Cornelius Breen, should have been acquitted of stalking because the evidence was insufficient to trigger Rhode Island’s stalking statute, and whether the fact and details of the defendant’s prior conviction of stalking the same person were admissible to establish an element of the offense charged.
