Supreme Court of Connecticut
State of Connecticut v. Ricardo Collins
January 5, 2011299 Conn. 567
Summary
The court reversed the Appellate Court's judgment and directed it to affirm the defendant's convictions for murder, felony murder, and first-degree robbery. It held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting limited evidence that the defendant had used the same gun in an earlier shooting, that the jury instruction concerning the police investigation did not impair the defendant's right to present a defense, and that the defendant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived counsel. No separate opinions were provided in the record.
