Supreme Court of Connecticut
State of Connecticut v. Enrique Ayala
February 7, 2017324 Conn. 571
Summary
Justice Espinosa's dissent would uphold the trial court's decision to allow the state to amend the information, reasoning that the amendment clarified that the alleged interference continued from the motor-vehicle stop to the police station. She concludes that the defendant had adequate notice, was not unfairly surprised or prejudiced, and was able to litigate the station conduct fully. Justice Espinosa, dissenting, would have held that the Appellate Court improperly found an abuse of discretion.
