SC20853 - State v. Petteway (“The defendant appeals from the judgment of conviction,
rendered after a jury trial, of murder in violation of General Statutes §
53a-54a and criminal violation of a standing criminal protective order in
violation of General Statutes § 53a-223a. He claims that he is entitled to a
new trial because the trial court violated his right to self-representation
under the federal and state constitutions. Because the defendant’s conduct
functioned as a forfeiture of his right to self-representation, we disagree and
affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
