Text: This Court has frequently stated that questions as to the admissibility vel non of evidence are confided to the sound discretion of the trial justice   . State v. Merida, 960 A.2d 228, 234 (R.I.2008). We have also stated that this Court will not interfere with a trial justice's decision in that regard unless there was a clear abuse of discretion   . Id.; see also State v. Pitts, 990 A.2d 185, 189 (R.I.2010); State v. Breen, 767 A.2d 50, 58 (R.I.2001); State v. Gabriau, 696 A.2d 290, 294 (R.I.1997); State v. Johnson, 667 A.2d 523, 530 (R.I. 1995). It should be recalled that this Court is disinclined to perceive an abuse of discretion so long as the record contains some grounds for supporting the trial justice's decision   . Pitts, 990 A.2d at 189-90 (internal quotation marks omitted); see also State v. Grullon, 984 A.2d 46, 53 (R.I.2009).
