AC47294 - State v. Angel A. ("The defendant, Angel A., appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of attempt to commit murder in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-49 (a) (2) and 53a-54a, assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-59 (a) (1), and criminal violation of a protective order in violation of General Statutes § 53a-223 (c) (2). The defendant claims that the trial court improperly (1) violated his right to jury unanimity by discharging the jury before disclosing to the parties a postverdict comment made to the court by a member of the jury, C.A., following the acceptance of the verdict that she ‘‘[felt] a little guilty about the attempted murder charge,’’ and (2) violated his right to a fair trial by denying his request to question C.A. at a posttrial hearing about why she made that postverdict comment. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the court.")

AC46652 - State v. Ragalis ("The defendant, Ryan E. Ragalis, appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered following a jury trial, of assault in the second degree with a motor vehicle in violation of General Statutes § 53a-60d1 and assault in the second degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-60 (a) (3). On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) the evidence was insufficient to convict him of assault in the second degree with a motor vehicle and assault in the second degree, (2) his conviction of assault in the second degree with a motor vehicle and assault in the second degree violates the double jeopardy clause of the United States constitution, and (3) the trial court’s supplemental instructions to the jury in response to a note misled the jury. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
