State v. Rogers
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and first degree assault, holding that the reversal of a codefendant's conviction does not necessitate the reversal of a defendant's conviction, despite the defendant's failure to preserve the issue at trial when the codefendant and defendant were jointly tried and the codefendant properly preserved the issue.
Defendant's codefendant was granted a new trial premised on his objection to the State's untimely disclosure of an expert witness. Even though Defendant did not join in on his codefendant's objection to the untimely disclosed expert Defendant argued in this appeal that the Supreme Court should exercise its supervisory authority to reverse his conviction in the interest of justice. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) fairness and justice do not require reversal of Defendant's conviction; and (2) this Court declines to overrule its decision in State v. Turner, 224 A.3d 129 (Conn. 2020), to review the merits of Defendant's unpreserved claim under State v. Edwards, 156 A.3d 506 (Conn. 2017).
