State v. Coleman, AC 29158, APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, June 2, 2009, Officially Released
View this case - free

Overview: Sufficient evidence supported defendant's convictions under Conn. Gen. Stat. ?? 21a-278(b), -279(a), and -279(d) because his actual possession of cocaine found at his feet when he was arrested was proved beyond a reasonable doubt, as he was the only person seen handling the drugs, so it could be inferred that he dropped them just before his arrest.
