- SC20995 - In re Criminal Complaint & Application for Arrest
Warrant (“The plaintiffs in error, Diahann Phillips, Alison
Scofield, and Albert Bottone, filed this writ of error challenging the decision
by the Honorable Thomas J. Welch, declining to issue arrest warrants under General
Statutes § 9-368 for two individuals who allegedly violated election laws. The
defendant in error, the state of Connecticut, contends that we should dismiss
this writ of error because the plaintiffs in error are neither classically nor
statutorily aggrieved by the denial of their arrest warrant applications.
Although we disagree with the defendant in error that the plaintiffs in error
are required to establish statutory aggrievement to bring a writ of error, we
dismiss the writ on the ground that the plaintiffs in error are not classically
aggrieved.”)
