State v. Briley

Supreme Court of Connecticut November 30, 1999

State v. Briley, 251 Conn. 927 (Conn. 1999)

742 A.2d 363; 1999 Conn. LEXIS 434

Berdon

Opinion of the Court

The defendant’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 55 Conn. App. 258 (AC 17529), is denied.

Dissenting Opinion

BERDON, J.,

dissenting. I would grant the defendant’s petition for certification to appeal on the following issue: (1) Did the state’s closing argument constitute prosecutorial misconduct; and (2) If the answer to question one is in the affirmative, did the defendant waive his right because he failed to object at trial?

SULLIVAN, J., did not participate in the consideration or decision of this petition.
