State v. Benedict

Harry Weller, senior assistant state's attorney, in opposition.

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 158 Conn.App. 599, 119 A.3d 1245 (2015), is granted, limited to the following issue:

“Did the trial court deprive the defendant of a fair trial by refusing to strike a prospective juror for cause when the juror was a police officer whose supervisor was a member of the same department that investigated the defendant's criminal case?”

EVELEIGH and ESPINOSA, Js., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
