Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Brundage

March 22, 2016

Summary

The court affirmed the Appellate Court’s determination that the state could file a substitute information charging new kidnapping offenses after the defendant’s convictions were reversed in part and the case was remanded for a new trial. The remand order barred prosecution of time-barred charges but did not address or prohibit new charges, and res judicata did not apply because the only remaining valid judgment expressly authorized further proceedings and a retrial.
