Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC46150 - State v. Webber (“On appeal, the acquittee claims that (1) the court erred in concluding that it lacked jurisdiction over his petition and (2) the statutory exclusion of his petition violates the equal protection clauses of the federal and state constitutions. Although we agree with the acquittee that the court had jurisdiction over his petition, we nonetheless conclude that the court properly denied his petition because, even if we were to agree with him on his equal protection argument, he still would not meet all of the requisite statutory criteria under § 54-255 (c) (5). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the trial court on this alternative ground.”)
