Case: State v. Ray (SC 17905) March 2009
Court: Connecticut Supreme Court
Trial Court: Stamford
Synopsis: Although he denied using drugs and held down a job at times, the defendant was found to be drug dependent as he was in and out of treatment since the 1980’s and recently had been unfavorably discharged from a rehab program. The court also held that the State did not have to prove a lack of drug dependency beyond a reasonable doubt even though the penalties are greater for non-drug dependent persons.
