SC20781 - State v. Jacques ("The defendant, Jean Jacques, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of one count of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a (a). On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court (1) violated his state constitutional right to a probable cause hearing by denying his request for a second probable cause hearing after this court reversed his previous conviction and remanded the case for a new trial in State v. Jacques, 332 Conn. 271, 294, 210 A.3d 533 (2019), (2) violated his confrontation clause rights under the sixth amendment to the United States constitution, as well as abused its discretion, by admitting Tywan Jenkins' written statement to the police as a prior inconsistent statement under State v. Whelan, 200 Conn. 743, 513 A.2d 86, cert. denied, 479 U.S. 994, 107 S. Ct. 597, 93 L. Ed. 2d 598 (1986), and (3) abused its discretion in finding that the state had made a prima facie showing that the testimony of Danny Vazquez, a jailhouse informant, was reliable and admissible under General Statutes § 54-86p. We affirm the judgment of conviction.")
