Supreme Court of Connecticut

State of Connecticut v. Pedro L. Miranda

January 2, 2018327 Conn. 451

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's murder conviction. It held that the defendant waived his challenge to the handling of a witness's testimony about divine guidance because he approved the trial court's proposed jury-instruction remedy. It further held that the defendant failed to preserve his hearsay challenge to testimony from the victim's mother because he objected only on relevance grounds.
