SC20563 - State v. Myers ("On appeal, the defendant claims that the trial court
incorrectly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction over the claims in his
motions to correct and that (1) he was entitled to resentencing in both cases
because the sentencing court failed to consider his youth as a mitigating
factor, in violation of Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460, 476–77, 132 S.
Ct. 2455, 183 L. Ed. 2d 407 (2012), and General Statutes § 54-91g, (2) the
structure of his two sentences deprived him of a meaningful opportunity for
parole because it resulted in a later parole eligibility date than he otherwise
would have been entitled to under General Statutes § 54-125a (f) (1), and (3)
his parole eligibility date violated his right to equal protection under the
fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution and article first, § 20,
of the Connecticut constitution. The defendant further contends that the trial
court improperly denied his claim that his parole eligibility date, as
calculated by the board, violated the terms of his plea agreement, in violation
of his right to due process under the fourteenth amendment to the United States
constitution and article first, §§ 8 and 9, of the Connecticut constitution. We
affirm in part the judgment of the trial court.")
