State v. Sharpley

Citations

• 232 Conn. App. 342

Syllabus

Convicted, following a conditional plea of nolo contendere, of the crime of assault in the third degree, the defendant appealed. He claimed that the trial court improperly denied his motion to dismiss because the state's ten month delay in executing the arrest warrant constituted an unreasonable delay that violated his right to due process. Held: The trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to dismiss, as the defendant failed to demonstrate that the state's delay in executing the arrest warrant caused actual substantial prejudice and was wholly unjustifiable. Argued March 10—officially released April 29, 2025
