State v. Jordan
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of tampering with physical evidence in violation of Conn. Gen. Stat. 53a-155, attempt to commit robbery in the third degree, and conspiracy to commit robbery in the third degree. The Appellate Court affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding (1) the Appellate Court properly concluded that the prosecutor’s failure to correct potentially misleading testimony of two witnesses did not violate Appellant’s due process right to a fair trial; (2) the Court's prior construction of section 53a-155 in State v. Foreshaw is not overruled; and (3) under a proper understanding of Foreshaw, the evidence was not sufficient to support Appellant’s conviction for tampering with physical evidence in violation of 53a-155. Remanded.
