State of Connecticut v. Sidney Wade

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s twenty-three-year resentencing after one manslaughter conviction was reduced on appeal for insufficient evidence. It held that the aggregate package theory applies regardless of the reason for remand and permits restructuring sentences on surviving counts so long as the revised total does not exceed the original sentence. The court also held that the resentencing violated neither federal nor state due process and declined to exercise supervisory powers.
