| Court overturns dismissal of police officer's conviction »
PROVIDENCE -- Sentencing is set for 2 p.m. for three Narragansett Indians convicted of misdemeanor offenses stemming from the state police raid on a tribal smokeshop, after a Superior Court judge today denied two motions for a new trial. Judge Susan McGuirl today ruled against a motion that there wasn't enough evidence to support the convictions. She also denied a motion claiming juror misconduct. Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas, Randy Noka and Hiawatha Brown were convicted in April of either disorderly conduct or simple assault stemming from the 2003 raid. -- With reports from Journal staff writer Katie Mulvaney
