SC19780 - Eubanks v. Commissioner of Correction ("The respondent claims that the Appellate Court improperly reached the merits of the petitioner’s claim that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance of counsel by failing to object to certain portions of the prior testimony of Tanika McCotter on the basis that those portions of her testimony constituted double hearsay. Eubanks v.Commissioner of Correction, 166 Conn. App. 1, 22, 140 A.3d 402 (2016). The respondent contends that because the petitioner raised this argument for the first time on appeal, the petitioner’s claim is unreviewable. The petitioner responds that the Appellate Court properly addressed the double hearsay issue and reasserts the alternative ground for affirmance that he raised in the Appellate Court…Accordingly, we agree with the respondent that the Appellate Court improperly reached the merits of the petitioner’s claim. For the same reason, we reject the petitioner’s alternative ground for affirmance. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the Appellate Court.")
