Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Nash
May 5, 2015
Summary
The court affirmed the defendant’s convictions for intentional and reckless first-degree assault arising from a shooting that injured a person inside a home. It held that the convictions were not legally inconsistent because the intent to cause serious physical injury and the recklessness creating a risk of death related to different results. The court also held that the evidence, including the defendant’s targeting of apparently occupied bedrooms and his statement about seeing movement, was sufficient to support an inference that he intended to cause serious physical injury.
