STATE OF CONNECTICUT v. DONALD CHAPMAN

The state of Connecticut's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 28 Conn. App. 360, is granted, limited to the following issues:

"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the statutory alternative analysis set forth in State v. Williams, 202 Conn. 349, 363-64 (1987), applied to alternative language occurring within the same statutory subsection and that the trial court's instruction permitted the jury to consider a separate and distinct theory of criminal liability?

"2. Was the Appellate Court correct in its failure to consider whether any error in the trial court's charge was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt?"

Lawrence J. Tytla, assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition.

Ira B. Grudberg and Thomas W. Ude, Jr., in opposition.
