Overview: Because a sentencing judge considered the gruesome facts of a murder and justly determined that defendant was an extremely dangerous individual, pursuant to Conn. Gen. Prac. Book, R. Super. Ct. § 43-23 et seq., and Conn. Gen. Stat. § 51-194 et seq., a 50-year sentence was neither inappropriate nor disproportionate.

APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 28, 2006, Officially Released
View this case - free
|
Overview: In a robbery case, excluding testimony that a victim knew defendant would not use a pipe he wielded was, at most, harmless, as defendant would have been convicted with the testimony as (1) Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-135(a)(2) only required proof he wielded the pipe, and (2) nothing showed the other victim present knew defendant would not use the pipe.
