Ronald G. Weller, senior assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition. Lisa J. Steele, assigned counsel, in opposition.
The petition by the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 152 Conn.App. 260, 96 A.3d 638, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the trial court had abused its discretion by precluding the defendant from asking certain questions during cross-examination about the police investigation in this case?
“2. If the answer to the first question is ‘yes,’ did these evidentiary improprieties deprive the defendant of his constitutional right to a fair trial?”
