Daniel J. Foster, assigned counsel, in support of the petition.

Brett R. Aiello, special deputy assistant state's attorney, in opposition.

Opinion

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 162 Conn.App. 774, 129 A.3d 808 (2016), is granted, limited to the following issue:

“Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the trial court, in a case alleging sexual assault, did not abuse its discretion in concluding that evidence of uncharged misconduct by the defendant twelve years previously was not ‘too remote’ for admissibility purposes under State v. DeJesus, 288 Conn. 418, 953 A.2d 45 (2008)?”
