• 228 Conn. App. 105

Syllabus

The defendant appealed from the judgment of conviction of assault in the third degree and two counts of criminal violation of a protective order. He claimed, inter alia, that the trial court improperly denied his motion to dismiss or to transfer the case for improper venue because the court, inter alia, incorrectly had concluded that the state constitution did not mandate that a criminal defendant be tried in the judicial district in which the offense occurred. Held: This court declined to consider the merits of the defendant's constitutional and statutory (§ 51-352c (a) and (b)) claims in light of its conclusion that the trial court did not clearly err in finding that the defendant had committed the charged offenses, at least in part, in the judicial district in which he was tried. The defendant waived his unpreserved claim that the trial court improperly failed to instruct the jury on venue, and, as a result of such waiver, the unpreserved claim also failed under the third prong of Golding.
