Supreme Court of Connecticut
State of Connecticut v. J’veil Outing
August 31, 2010298 Conn. 34
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant’s murder conviction and rejected his challenges to eyewitness identifications, expert testimony, psychiatric-record disclosure, sequestration, and prosecutorial conduct. It held that the identification procedures were not unnecessarily suggestive, declined to reach the broader question whether expert testimony on eyewitness reliability should be admitted at a suppression hearing, and found no reversible error in the remaining claims. Justices Norcott and Palmer concurred in the result but would have reconsidered the precedent limiting expert testimony on eyewitness reliability.
