Heroin, due process, search.
Case Summary:
David Johnson and Diane McIntosh, appearing here in a consolidated case, appeal the ruling of a lower court that allowed evidence to be entered at trial. The pair believe the trial court erred in dismissing their motions to suppress evidence that was introduced during their trial on charges of possession of heroin.
Decision of lower jurisdiction:
The trial ruled that physical evidence and expert testimony could be entered for consideration during the trial. Johnson and McIntosh appealed, and appeals court reversed and remanded for additional action. The state then appealed to the supreme court, which remanded the case back to the court of appeals for additional review.
Outcome:
Johnson and McIntosh lose. The Connecticut Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court.
