AC45869 - State v. Christopher R. (“The defendant, Christopher R., appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered following a jury trial, of one count of sexual assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-70 (a) (1), two counts of risk of injury to a child in violation of General Statutes § 53-21 (a) (2), and one count of attempt to commit sexual assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-49 (a) (2) and 53a-70 (a) (1). On appeal, he claims that the trial court violated his constitutional rights by finding that his waiver of his right to testify was voluntary and denying his request to open the evidence to allow him to testify following his assertion that the waiver of his right to testify was involuntary. We affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
