STATE v. JOHNSON

Supreme Court of Connecticut
Oct 30, 1992

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 28 Conn. App. 708 [AC 10015], is granted, limited to the following questions:

"1. Was the Appellate Court correct in refusing to review the defendant's claim that the trial court improperly denied his motion to dismiss which claimed that a peace officer does not have probable cause to effectuate a warrantless arrest for a misdemeanor committed outside the presence of that officer?

"2. In order to establish a violation of General Statutes 14-224(b), must the state prove that the defendant knew that the accident in which he was involved caused `injury or damage to property?'"

Mario Paul Mikolitch, special public defender, in support of the petition.

Mitchell S. Brody, assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
