Description

The defendant, Rudolph Wright,
was indicted by a grand jury September 20, 1971,
for the crime of murder in the first degree in that
on July 31, 1971, in Bridgeport, he did wilfully,
deliberately, with premeditation and malice
aforethought shoot and kill Joseph Brodie, in violation
of then 53-9 of the General Statutes. The defendant
pleaded not guilty and elected to be tried by a
jury of twelve. The case was tried and the jury
returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the second
degree. The defendant was sentenced by the court
to life imprisonment, and it is from this judgment
that he has taken the present appeal. The defendant has made a claim of error in the denial
of his motion to set aside the verdict as being
contrary to law and against the evidence. The appeal
having been taken before the rules for taking
appeals in jury cases were amended effective
October 1, 1974, such a claim is tested by the
evidence printed in the appendices to the briefs and
such exhibits as are made a part of the record.
State v. Brown, 161 Conn. 219, 220, 286 A.2d 304;
State v. Hassett, 155 Conn. 225, 232, 230 A.2d 553;
State v. Stallings, 154 Conn. 272, 283, 224 A.2d 718.
If the verdict is one which twelve honest jurors
acting fairly, intelligently and reasonably could
have reached on the evidence submitted to them,
then the verdict cannot be disturbed. State v.
Brown, supra; State v. Miller, 154 Conn. 622, 624,
228 A.2d 136.
