AC42911 - State v. Coleman ("The defendant, Christopher Coleman, appeals from the judgment of the trial court granting his motion to correct an illegal sentence and imposing a new sentence. On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) his newly imposed sentence violates the multiple punishment prohibition of the double jeopardy clause of the fifth amendment to the United States constitution and the Connecticut constitution because he had completed the lawful portion of his sentence at the time of his resentencing, (2) the court lacked jurisdiction to resentence him after the lawful portion of his sentence had been served, and (3) the newly imposed sentence violated his due process rights under the federal and state constitutions. We disagree with the defendant's claims.")

AC41314 - State v. Colthers ("The defendant, Jamaal Coltherst, appeals from the judgment of the trial court dismissing his motion to correct an illegal sentence. The defendant claims that the court erred in dismissing his motion to correct because his sentence constitutes cruel and unusual punishment under the eighth amendment to the United States constitution and article first, §§ 8 and 9, of the Connecticut constitution in light of the fact that the criminal court imposed an effective sentence of life imprisonment without having conducted an individualized sentencing proceeding in which the court would consider his age and the hallmark characteristics of youth. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
