State of Connecticut v. Keir Johnson

Summary

The court held that the statutory dismissal provision applies to all criminal charges against a defendant found incompetent and not restorable to competency, not only crimes involving death or serious physical injury. It further held that the applicable limitations period runs continuously from the date of the offense, requiring affirmance of the misdemeanor dismissals, while the felony dismissal was reversed for consideration of a separate dismissal ground. The appeal concerning the probation violation was dismissed because the state was not aggrieved.
