How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • declining to use supervisory power to overrule State v. Huey, 199 Conn. 121, 505 A.2d 1242 [1986], but stating that ‘‘we suggest that our trial courts in future sentencings refrain from expressing disagreement with the jury’s verdict’’
  • ‘‘we suggest that our trial courts in future sentencings refrain from expressing disagreement with the jury’s verdict’’ because doing so ‘‘may undermine public confidence in the jury system’’
  • “The state does not have to connect a weapon directly to the defendant and the crime. It is only necessary that the weapon be suitable for the commission of the offense.”
