SUMMERVILLE v. WARDEN, STATE PRISON

Supreme Court of Connecticut
Nov 25, 1992

The petitioner Robert Summerville's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 29 Conn. App. 162 [AC 10114], is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that it should not decide the issue of whether an ineffective investigation by a defense expert witness in a fashion that impairs the petitioner's defense is impugned to the defense attorney?"

Paula Mangini Montonye, assistant public defender, in support of the petition.

Judith Rossi, assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
