The petition by the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 105 Conn. App. 568 (AC 27168), is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the state's attorney's elicitation of evidence regarding a
missed meeting between the police and the defendant, and his comment thereon in summation, constituted prosecutorial impropriety which deprived the defendant of his right to a fair trial?"
The Supreme Court docket number is SC 18121.
Timothy J. Sugrue, senior assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition.
Gary A. Mastronardi, in opposition.
