Connecticut Appellate Court Issues Landmark Reversal Citing Lack Of Evidence In Probation Revocation Case

Hector Fermaint establishes that a defendant's temporal and spatial proximity to drugs does not amount to criminal possession, even under the lesser preponderance of the evidence standard applicable to probation revocation proceedings.
