View this case - free

State v. Fabricatore, SC 17492, SUPREME COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 27, 2007, Officially Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Judgment upholding defendant's convictions was affirmed because defendant, who appealed a faulty jury instruction on self-defense under Golden, waived his right to challenge the instruction on appeal because he accepted the State's proffered instruction, which included a duty-to-retreat exception, and openly acquiesced to the instruction at trial.

View this case - free

State v. Nathan J., (AC 26194), APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 27, 2007, Officially Released
View this case - free  

Overview: Because it was possible that defendant's conduct under the risk of injury statute, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53-21(a)(1), was justified under the Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-18(1) defense of reasonable parental discipline, the failure to instruct the jury on that defense might have misled the jury and resulted in injustice entitling defendant to a new trial.

State v. Ovechka, (AC 26077), APPELLATE COURT OF CONNECTICUT, February 27, 2007, Officially Released
View this case - free  

Overview: State failed to show that substance sprayed by defendant into victim's face was dangerous instrument, and thus conviction of second degree assault, Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-60(a), was not supported by sufficient evidence. Evidence that victim suffered skin redness and burning and eye irritation did not establish that he suffered serious injuries.
