Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Wade

April 22, 2025351 Conn. 745

Summary

The court held that the defendant did not abandon his request for a due process balancing inquiry before admitting an unavailable witness's out-of-court identification at his probation revocation hearing. Because the trial court admitted and relied on the identification without conducting that inquiry, the court ordered a new hearing limited to the alleged home-invasion violation, while leaving the other probation-violation findings intact.
