How courts have described this case

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

  • defendant convicted, inter alia, of one count of assault in second degree after striking victim twice on forehead with twenty ounce hammer
  • evidence was sufficient to support conviction for having weapon in motor vehicle where defendant used hammer in vehicle during alterca- tion
  • “Here, at the latest, the hammer became a dangerous instrument . . . when the defendant, who was sitting in the vehicle, picked it up and swung it at the victim’s head.”
  • “even though the ‘approved’ definition of dangerous instrument in § 53a-3 [7] applies only to the provisions of title 53a, it guides our interpretation of the [term] as used in [General Statutes] § 29-38 because it is not inconsistent with any statutory language in § 29-38”
