Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinions

by Oumano, Emily

 

AC43092 - State v. Glass (“The defendant, Edwin Ronald Glass, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of burglary in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-101 (a) (3), and robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-134 (a) (3). On appeal, the defendant claims that there was insufficient evidence to establish his identity as the person who committed the burglary and robbery. We agree and, accordingly, reverse the judgment of the trial court.”)

AC44342 - State v. Waters (“The defendant, Rodney Waters, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol in violation of General Statutes § 14-227a (a) (1), and, following a plea of guilty to a part B information, of being a second time offender pursuant to § 14-227a (g) (2). On appeal, the defendant claims that his conviction under § 14-227a (a) (1) is not supported by sufficient evidence. He also claims that the trial court improperly admitted expert testimony related to the defendant's blood alcohol content (BAC) in contravention of § 14-227a (c), restricted his cross-examination of the state's expert witness, and denied his motion to suppress inculpatory statements he made to the police. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
