View this case - free  

Overview: In a felony murder trial, the trial court did not err by admitting a prior inconsistent statement, pursuant to Conn. Code Evid.

View this case - free  

Overview: Since defendant brought her injured brother to a hospital and informed the officers of her intention, rather than interfering with the primary duty of the police, to assist an accident victim, defendant was carrying it out. Thus, she did not interfere with the officers in violation of Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-167a.

Overview: Since the effects of a night club's alleged negligence and the assailants' alleged negligence in regard to an assault on an injured person, who was a club patron, did not overlap completely, apportionment of liability could be determined by the fact finder; thus, an apportionment complaint was proper under Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 52-102b and 52-572h.

Stat. § 33-921 precluded suit; minor problems did not make premises untenantable to excuse rent obligation.
