State of Connecticut v. Tricia Lynne Coccomo

Summary

The court held that the trial court properly admitted evidence that the defendant transferred her property for nominal consideration after a fatal collision because the evidence reasonably supported an inference of consciousness of guilt and was not unduly prejudicial. The court also rejected the defendant’s unpreserved challenge to the blood-alcohol evidence, concluding that any error was not plain because the record supported the conclusion that the tested blood belonged to her. The Appellate Court’s judgment was reversed, and the case was remanded with direction to affirm the trial judgment.
