Supreme Court of Connecticut

State of Connecticut v. Teri A. Buhl.

June 21, 2016321 Conn. 688

Summary

The court reinstated the defendant's conviction for breach of the peace because the evidence permitted the trial court to find that the Facebook posts were publicly exhibited, that the defendant created them, and that she intended to vex or provoke the victim. It also upheld the harassment conviction based on the anonymous mailing and held that the Appellate Court acted within its discretion in declining to review inadequately briefed constitutional claims. The case was remanded for the Appellate Court to affirm the breach-of-peace conviction.
