State v. Skok

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that warrantless recordings of telephone conversations made with one participant’s consent did not violate the Connecticut Constitution because the defendant lacked an objectively reasonable expectation of privacy in those calls. The court also held that the trial court was not required to conduct a competency inquiry because the evidence concerning the defendant’s physical health and drowsiness did not raise a reasonable doubt about her ability to understand the proceedings or assist counsel.
