State of Connecticut v. Laquan Ledbetter

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's convictions, holding that the cumulative direct and circumstantial evidence was sufficient to prove his participation in the robbery and conspiracy involving Mace. It also upheld the admission of Leonard's identification, concluding that the procedure was not unnecessarily suggestive and that the identification was reliable under the totality of the circumstances. The court declined to adopt a new constitutional reliability test or a per se rule for suggestive procedures, but required a cautionary jury instruction in specified future cases. No separate opinions were filed.
