Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Ruiz

December 11, 2020337 Conn. 612

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment revoking the defendant’s probation, concluding that the challenged one-on-one identification was reliable under the totality of the circumstances even assuming the procedure was unnecessarily suggestive. The court declined to decide whether the showup procedure was unnecessarily suggestive because reliability independently defeated the due process claim, and it rejected the state’s mootness argument. No separate opinions were filed.
