Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20965 - State v. Sullivan (Unlawful restraint in the second degree; sexual assault in the fourth degree; attempt to commit sexual assault in the third degree; sexual assault in the third degree; “In this certified appeal, the defendant claims that the prosecutor in this case, State’s Attorney Anne Mahoney, engaged in certain improprieties during her closing argument that deprived him of his due process right to a fair trial. We conclude that, although the prosecutor’s statements were improper, they did not deprive the defendant of his constitutional right to a fair trial. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the Appellate Court.”)
