Casey SINCLAIR

Supreme Court of Connecticut.

Decided May 30, 2017

John L. Cordani, Jr., assigned counsel, in support of the petition.

Jennifer F. Miller, deputy assistant state's attorney, in opposition.

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 173 Conn.App. 1, 162 A.3d 43 (2017), is granted, limited to the following issues:

"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly affirm the judgment of the trial court on the ground that any presumed violation of the defendant's confrontation clause rights was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt?

"2. Did the Appellate Court correctly hold that the trial prosecutor's multiple acts of prosecutorial impropriety did not deprive the defendant of a fair trial?"
