State of Connecticut v. Tricia Lynne Coccomo

Summary

The court reversed the Appellate Court and held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting the defendant's post-collision transfer of real property for less than fair value as evidence of consciousness of guilt. It also rejected the defendant's alternative claim that admitting the blood-alcohol results constituted plain error, concluding that the record supported a reasonable inference that the tested sample was hers. The judgment was remanded with direction to affirm the trial court's judgment.
