SC20778 - State v. Johnson (“The jury rejected the defendant’s justification defenses
and found him guilty of the crimes of murder, assault in the first degree,
criminal use of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm, and carrying a
pistol without a permit. In this direct appeal, the defendant contends that (1)
the evidence was insufficient to defeat his claims of self-defense and defense
of others with respect to Wooten, and (2) the trial court improperly excluded
evidence of Taylor’s violent character under § 4-4 (a) (2) of the Connecticut
Code of Evidence. We affirm the judgment.”)
