State of Connecticut v. Eugene Edwards, Jr.

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for home invasion, robbery, larceny, and assault of an elderly person. It held that the defendant’s statements were admissible because he was not in custody during the first encounter and was not subjected to interrogation during the second, and that the trial court improperly admitted cell-phone-location testimony without proper expert qualification and reliability screening, but that error was harmless. The court also held that the evidence was sufficient to establish the defendant’s identity and that he was armed with a deadly weapon.
