State of Connecticut v. Lorenzo Adams

Summary

The court dismissed the defendant's certified appeal concerning breach of the peace because certification had been improvidently granted, but reversed the Appellate Court's determination that the evidence was insufficient to support attempted larceny. The court held that the surveillance video, the defendant's concealment and handling of merchandise, his abandonment of a heavily loaded bag, his resistance, his flight, and the reported value of the merchandise collectively supported reasonable inferences of Marshalls' ownership and intent to permanently deprive it of the property.
