Opinion
ESPINOSA, J.
The defendant, Kurtis Turner, appeals from the judgment of conviction, following a jury trial, of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a (a). The defendant claims that the trial court improperly (1) refused to appoint a public defender of his choice to represent him, in abuse of its discretion and in violation of his state and federal constitutional rights to a fair trial and to equal protection of the laws, and (2) denied his motion for a judgment of acquittal when the evidence was insufficient to convict him of murder. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
