State v. Lago

Supreme Court of Connecticut
Sep 17, 1992
614 A.2d 828 (Conn. 1992)

Opinion

Decided September 17, 1992


The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 28 Conn. App. 9, is denied.


Wesley W. Horton and Robert M. Shields, Jr., in support of the petition.

James A. Killen, assistant state's attorney, in opposition.


I would grant certification on the following issues: "(a) Where the police have engaged in unnecessarily suggestive procedures, should the legal question of reliability be examined with exceptionally close scrutiny, and should the standard of appellate review of a finding of reliability be de novo under article first, 8, of the Connecticut constitution or the fourteenth amendment of the United States constitution or both?

"(b) Under the appropriate test, was the evidence reliable?

"(c) In the absence of trial court findings on reliability, should a new trial be ordered?"
