Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Iverson

July 15, 2025352 Conn. 422

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that the evidence did not support a first-degree manslaughter instruction because it showed an intentional killing and did not place the distinguishing element sufficiently in dispute. The court also held that the defendant waived his confrontation claim by strategically declining to object to the autopsy report and related evidence, so the unpreserved claim failed under the applicable review framework.
