Interesting doings in the RI courts. Recent Supreme court decision on DUI offenses. the Supreme Court has stated that the right to a confidential phone call only applies to a call to one's attorney.

The pet owner is liable if the dog has bitten a victim at least once before, on the second or subsequent bites the owner is liable, for the damages caused by the bite. The damages from a dogbite can be severe, not only physical but psychological. The Rhode General assembly may address this in it's upcoming session.James P.
