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. It also held that the prosecutor’s closing argument was a permissible specific tailoring argument because it was tied to trial evidence, and declined to review the challenge concerning cooperation-agreement evidence because it was an unpreserved evidentiary claim. No separate opinion is included in the record provided.
