Supreme Court of Connecticut

State of Connecticut v. David N.J.

June 7, 2011301 Conn. 122

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for sexual assault and risk of injury to a child. It held that the trial court properly limited a hypothetical question to the examining physician, disclosed all materially relevant department records after in camera review, permitted remedies and argument concerning a defense investigator’s presence during trial, and instructed the jury that penetration of the labia majora satisfied the charged vaginal-intercourse offenses. The court concluded that none of these rulings violated the defendant’s constitutional rights or deprived him of a fair trial.
