Criminal Law Supreme Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

SC20843 - State v. Orane C. (Three counts of sexual assault in the first degree; “The Appellate Court affirmed the defendant’s conviction, rejecting his claim that count two of the state’s February 7, 2020 substitute information (2020 substitute information) was time barred by the five year statute of limitations. On appeal, the defendant claims that count two of the 2020 substitute information, charging conduct from 2014, substantially broadened or amended the charges that were timely brought, therefore rendering it time barred under General Statutes (Rev. to 2013) § 54-193 (b). We agree with the defendant and, accordingly, reverse in part the judgment of the Appellate Court.”)
