Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20983 - State v. Wade (“In this certified appeal, the defendant, Jaquan Wade, appeals from the Appellate Court’s judgment affirming the trial court’s revocation of his probation and imposition of a thirteen year term of incarceration. The defendant claims that the Appellate Court incorrectly concluded that, at his probation revocation hearing, he had abandoned his argument that the trial court should engage in a due process balancing under State v. Crespo, 190 Conn. App. 639, 646–48, 211 A.3d 1027 (2019), before admitting into evidence a witness’ out-of-court identification when that witness was not present and available for cross-examination. We agree and reverse the Appellate Court’s judgment.”)
