Connecticut Appellate Court February 14, 2006, AC 24910 (State v. Jackson)

Opinion

MCDONALD, J.

The defendant, Jeffrey Jackson, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of possession of narcotics in violation of General Statutes § 21a-279 (a). He has raised as the sole issue in his appeal the claim that the trial court’s jury instruction as to “reasonable doubt” improperly diluted the state’s burden of proof.
