State of Connecticut v. Jermaine Woods

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s murder conviction following his third trial before a three-judge panel. It held that the defendant’s testimony from the second trial was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily given and therefore properly admitted, and that the defendant validly waived his right to a jury trial. The court also rejected the defendant’s claim that the trial court’s explanation of the consequences of waiver invalidated the waiver.
