Description
The defendant was charged with possessing
or having under his control a quantity of
marijuana in violation of Public Act No. 555, 37
(a), adopted in the 1967 legislative session, now
General Statutes (Rev. to 1968) 19-481. In this
appeal from his conviction, the defendant assigns
error, inter alia, in the refusal of the court to
suppress evidence seized under a search warrant under
which the New Haven police officers acted in gaining
[162 Conn. 217]
entry to his apartment, claiming it was invalid
because it authorized the police to enter and
search for various listed items which could be
used to violate the conspiracy statute but failed
to mention any underlying substantive offense;
that, assuming the warrant was not invalid on its
face, the only items which could be seized were
those listed in the warrant and the seizure of the
alleged marijuana was unconstitutional and illegal
because it did not authorize the seizure of
marijuana; that, even if the warrant was valid,
the items seized were not admissible in evidence
because of the manner in which the search was
conducted; that the court refused to permit a
disclosure of an unnamed informant's identity; and
that the state failed to prove beyond a reasonable
doubt the chain of custody of three glassine bags
prior to their introduction into evidence.
