Supreme Court of Connecticut
State of Connecticut v. Ravon Donald
May 2, 2017325 Conn. 346
Summary
The court affirmed the judgment after concluding that the record was adequate for appellate review and that the defendant's written confession was admissible. Although the police questioned the defendant about the robbery before providing warnings, the brief initial questioning was sufficiently separated from the later warned interrogation by a change in location, a several-hour break, arrest processing, and the different scope of questioning. Any error in admitting the defendant's limited statement at the initial encounter was harmless. No separate opinions were filed.
