Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Tyus

April 12, 2022342 Conn. 784

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s murder conviction, concluding that the joint trial was proper, the admission of the defendant’s historical cell-site location information was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, and the admission of a substitute firearms examiner’s testimony caused a confrontation violation but was likewise harmless. The court also held that the general expert-testimony instruction adequately addressed the defendant’s requested limiting instruction. No separate opinions were filed.
