State of Connecticut v. John Papandrea

Summary

The court held that sufficient evidence supported the defendant’s convictions for first-degree larceny because the jury reasonably could find that he knowingly took his employer’s funds for personal use without authority and without a good-faith belief that he was entitled to them. The court rejected the argument that the evidence compelled an inference of lawful claim of right and affirmed the Appellate Court’s judgment. No separate opinions were filed.
