State v. Cosgrove
Supreme Court of Connecticut
Decided July 29, 1980PublishedCited by 53 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtCotter, C. J.
The defendants were convicted after a combined trial to a jury of unlawfully possessing marijuana with the intent to sell or dispense it in violation of General Statutes §19-480 (b). Upon the trial court’s denial of their motions for a new trial and for acquittal, they have appealed. Because the issues raised by each defendant on appeal are identical, with the one exception of the defendant Stephen Cosgrove’s claim of error with regard to the admission in evidence of certain extrajudicial statements of his codefendant Thomas Pierro, we consider the two appeals in a single opinion.
