SC20881 - State v. Hinton (Felony murder; attempt to commit robbery in the first degree; criminal possession of a pistol; carrying a pistol without a permit; “The defendant claims that (1) there was insufficient evidence to convict him of felony murder because there was no evidence that the shooter, Mark Christian, was the defendant’s accessory to the predicate crime of attempted robbery, (2) the trial court’s felony murder instruction incorrectly failed to inform the jury that the state had the burden to establish that Christian was the defendant’s accessory to the predicate crime of attempted robbery, (3) the court violated the defendant’s constitutional right to confrontation by improperly admitting into evidence Omar Rivera’s video-recorded interviews with the police because Rivera’s inability to recall the shooting during his testimony at trial rendered him functionally unavailable for cross-examination, and (4) Rivera’s video-recorded interviews were insufficient in the absence of additional corroborative evidence to establish his specific intent to commit attempted robbery. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.”)

AC46846 - State v. Dunbar (“On appeal, the defendant claims that the court (1) violated his right to due process under the federal constitution by failing to engage in a due process balancing analysis under State v. Shakir, 130 Conn. App. 458, 467, 22 A.3d 1285, cert. denied, 302 Conn. 931, 28 A.3d 345 (2011), before admitting certain hearsay evidence and (2) abused its discretion in revoking his probation. We disagree and affirm the judgments.”)
