Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Graham
October 4, 2022344 Conn. 825
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that an accomplice’s out-of-court statement was admissible as a trustworthy statement against penal interest and was nontestimonial. The court also held that the prosecutor’s closing argument was a permissible specific tailoring argument because it was tied to trial evidence, and it declined to review the challenge concerning cooperation-agreement evidence because the defendant presented it as an unpreserved evidentiary claim.
