Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinions

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC46442 - State v. Ardizzone (Discharge from the jurisdiction of the Psychiatric Security Review Board. “On appeal, the acquittee claims that (1) the court improperly found that, if he were discharged, he would present a danger to himself or others and (2) § 17a-593 is unconstitutionally vague as applied to him. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)

AC46988 - State v. Marcu (Misconduct with a motor vehicle; “On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate that his conduct was committed with the mens rea of criminal negligence, and (2) the finding that he was criminally negligent was not supported by the trial court’s factual findings. We disagree and, accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
