State of Connecticut v. Jubar T. Holley

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's firearm-possession convictions after concluding that the search-warrant affidavit established probable cause to search his residence. The affidavit supported reasonable inferences that he intended to assemble a firearm and that firearm evidence would be found in his home, based on his purchases, prior felony conviction, corroboration of the seller's information, and the investigators' experience. The court also held that any unsupported inference regarding firearm trafficking was unnecessary to the probable-cause determination.
