State v. Walker

Summary

The court affirmed the Appellate Court’s judgment because the record was inadequate to review the defendant’s unpreserved claim that he was excluded from a critical stage involving defense counsel’s possible conflict of interest. The missing information concerned events allegedly occurring off the record and therefore required rectification, not articulation; the exception in Practice Book § 61-10 (b) applies only when failure to seek articulation is the sole obstacle to review and does not excuse failure to preserve a claim. No separate opinions were filed.
