State v. Qayyum
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the appellate court affirming Defendant's conviction of one count of conspiracy to sell narcotics and two counts of possession of narcotics with intent to sell, holding that Defendant was not entitled to reversal on his claims of error.
On appeal, Defendant argued that the trial court erred in admitting expert testimony regarding his intent to sell narcotics and in admitting evidence that he had no reportage wages on record with the Connecticut Department of Labor in 2016 and 2017. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Defendant failed to preserve his first evidentiary claim; and (2) assuming, without deciding, that the trial court improperly admitted evidence regarding Defendant's lack of reportable wages, Defendant failed to demonstrate that the error substantially swayed the verdict.
