Description
The defendant, Damon Perry, appeals from the judgments of conviction, following a jury trial, of three counts of sale of cocaine in violation of General Statutes § 21a-278 (b). The defendant claims that (1) his federal and state constitutional rights to due process and equal protection were violated when the states attorney on cross-examination asked two defense witnesses about the defendants employment, business practices and income tax returns in an effort to have the jury infer that drug sales were the defendants only means of supporting himself, (2) the states attorney engaged in prosecutorial misconduct that deprived the defendant of his constitutional rights to a fair trial and an impartial jury and (3) the trial court improperly accepted a verdict from the jury based on insufficient evidence. We affirm the judgments of the trial court.
