¶1dissenting. I would grant certification on the following issues: “(a) Where the police have engaged in unnecessarily suggestive procedures, should the legal question of reliability be examined with exceptionally close scrutiny, and should the standard of appellate review of a finding of reliability be de novo under article first, § 8, of the Connecticut constitution or the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution or both?
