Taylor v. Commissioner of Corr.

Peter Tsimbidaros, assigned counsel, in support of the petition. Lisa A. Riggione, senior assistant state's attorney, in opposition.

The petitioner Devon Taylor's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 154 Conn.App. 686, 108 A.3d 238 (2015), is granted, limited to the following issues:

“1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the petitioner's criminal trial counsel's deficient performance in responding to the treatment of the jury note was subject to harmless error analysis, under which the petitioner bore the burden of proving harm?

“2. If so, did the Appellate Court properly determine that the petitioner failed to meet that burden?”
