State of Connecticut v. Jannette Rodriguez-Roman

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions on two racketeering counts and the related offenses. It held that the charged racketeering provision required proof of an enterprise, that the defendant’s association with Portillo qualified as an unchartered enterprise, and that no structure separate from the charged criminal activity was required. Although the trial court omitted an enterprise instruction, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; the court declined to review the defendant’s vagueness and bribery claims because they were not properly preserved or presented as constitutional claims.
