Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Raeon A.

June 23, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions, holding that his unpreserved challenge to the jury instruction concerning the victim’s delayed reporting was not reviewable because it did not allege a constitutional violation. The court also rejected plain-error relief because the instruction properly applied the law in effect at the time of trial and declined to reconsider its recent precedent or use supervisory authority to bypass ordinary review doctrines.
