STATE v. ASH

Supreme Court of Connecticut
May 12, 1994

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 33 Conn. App. 782 (AC 11438), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that a misstatement of the law on the duty to retreat imposed by General Statutes 53a-19 (b) contained in the trial court's jury instruction was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt?"

Ramona S. Carlow, special public defender, in support of the petition.

John A. East III, deputy assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
