Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Davis
July 26, 2022344 Conn. 122
Summary
The court affirmed the murder judgment after concluding that defense counsel's prior representation of the victim's son did not create an actual conflict that adversely affected the defendant's representation. The court also held that lay identification testimony from surveillance footage was admissible under the governing lay-opinion standard and that applying that standard to this pending case was proper. The court further determined that the result would have been the same under the earlier evidentiary rule.
