State v. Cote
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of burglary in the third degree and larceny in the second degree. The Appellate Court affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the Appellate Court did not err in concluding that (1) Public Acts 2009, No. 09-138, 2, which amended the second degree larceny statute to increase the value of property stolen necessary to constitute the offense, was not intended to be an ameliorative act that applied retroactively; and (2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting certain uncharged misconduct evidence concerning Defendant’s activities in another location.
