Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Danforth

February 10, 2015

Summary

The concurrence agrees that the trial court's judgment should be affirmed because the state presented unusually direct evidence that the defendant and her coconspirators reached a detailed agreement to commit the robbery, including use of an airsoft pellet gun. It emphasizes that these facts represent the rare case in which the state can prove an express or formal conspiracy agreement and therefore do not demonstrate that the governing specific-intent rule is workable.
