After granting the defendant's motion to add a second certified issue, the defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 136 Conn.App. 427, 46 A.3d 256, is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly affirm the trial court's decision admitting the testimony of a Rhode Island police officer on grounds that the evidence was admissible for proof of intent and to ‘complete the story of the charged crime’ and that the prejudicial effect did not outweigh the probative value?
“2. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that No. 09438 of the 2009 Public Acts did not apply retroactively?”
