Description
Opinion After a joint trial before a jury, the defendants, Ronald Taylor and George Gould, were each convicted of felony murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54c, robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-134 (a)(2) and 53a-8, criminal attempt to commit robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-134(a)(2), 53a-8 and 53a-49, and conspiracy to commit robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-48 (a) and 53a-134 (a)(2). 1 The defendants each have appealed from the respective judgments of the trial court, sentencing them to total effective sentences of eighty years imprisonment, 2 to this court pursuant to General Statutes § 51-199(b)(3). The defendants both claim that the trial court improperly allowed the jury to replay the videotaped testimony of a state's witness in the jury room. In his appeal, Taylor also claims that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions of attempted robbery in the first degree, robbery in the first degree and felony murder; (2) the trial court improperly limited his cross-examination of a witness; (3) the trial court improperly precluded evidence of that same witness' character for truthfulness and veracity; (4) the trial court improperly admitted misconduct evidence; and (5) his convictions of attempted robbery in the first degree and robbery in the first degree violate the prohibition against double jeopardy. We affirm the judgments of the trial court with the exception of our conclusion that Taylor's convictions of attempted robbery in the first degree and robbery in the first degree must be merged and the sentence for attempted robbery in the first degree vacated.
