Holding that "[w]hile each instance of prosecutorial misconduct, standing alone, might not justify reversal, the effect of all of them requires it."
Id. at 385, 523 A.2d 1323. The Connecticut Supreme Court denied certification to review the Appellate Court's decision, State v. Floyd, 203 Conn. 809, 525 A.2d 523 (1987), and the United States Supreme Court denied a petition for a writ of certiorari. Floyd v. Connecticut, 484 U.S. 859, 108 S.Ct. 172, 98 L.Ed.2d 126 (1987). Thereafter, appellant sought habeas relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 in the district court.
