Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. James A.
December 19, 2022345 Conn. 599
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that the threatening and disorderly conduct charges were properly joined with the sexual-assault-related charges because the evidence was relevant and more probative than prejudicial in both directions. It also declined to review the defendant’s challenge to the limits on his proposed testimony about prior convictions because the record did not establish why he chose not to testify or what testimony he intended to give. Chief Justice Robinson, concurring, would have found both challenged rulings erroneous but harmless.
