State of Connecticut v. Eugene Davis

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions and firearm sentence enhancements, holding that the trial court properly limited impeachment and cross-examination of the victim. The excluded evidence was either inadmissible hearsay, irrelevant, insufficiently connected to a material issue, or impermissible character and collateral-matter evidence; consequently, the defendant’s confrontation and right-to-present-a-defense claims failed. No separate opinions were filed.
