Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Elmer G.

September 17, 2019333 Conn. 176

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that sufficient evidence supported the three restraining-order violations and that the prosecutor’s challenged questioning and closing arguments did not deprive him of a fair trial. The evidence permitted the jury to find that the defendant knew contact with his children was limited to weekly supervised visits, that his texts and letter violated the order, and that the prosecutor’s remarks addressed credibility and reasonable inferences rather than improperly invoking sympathy or personal bias.
