Opinion

DUPONT, J.

The primary issue of this appeal is whether the testimony of a state's expert witness was tantamount to an opinion that answered the ultimate question for the jury, namely, whether the defendant was guilty of the possession of a narcotic substance with intent to sell in violation of General Statutes § 21a-277 (a) and, if so, whether the defendant is entitled to a new trial or a judgment of acquittal of that charge.
