Description
The defendant, John Raguseo, appeals1
from the judgment of conviction, after a jury trial, of
murder in violation of General Statutes 53a-54a (a).2
The defendant claims that the trial court improperly:
(1) denied his motions for a judgment of acquittal and
for a new trial because the evidence did not establish
that he had the intent to cause the death of the victim;
(2) denied his motions for a judgment of acquittal and
for a new trial because the evidence established the
affirmative defense of extreme emotional disturbance;
(3) instructed the jury regarding the affirmative defense
of extreme emotional distress; (4) instructed the jury
regarding motive and premeditation; (5) refused to
exclude testimony of the defendant's expert witness
regarding the defendant's consumption of alcohol prior
to the crime; (6) allowed the state's expert witness to
testify to an opinion on the ultimate issue of the defendant's
guilt; and (7) denied the defendant's motion for
a new trial that was based on evidence obtained following
