State of Connecticut v. Michael A. Urbanowski

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions and sentence because any error in admitting evidence of prior uncharged misconduct was harmless. It declined to decide whether the evidence was properly admitted, adopting the Appellate Court’s reasoning on harmlessness. The court also observed that state evidentiary rulings are governed by the Connecticut Code of Evidence and this court’s decisions, while declining to resolve whether the Appellate Court applied an improper heightened standard.
