Supreme Court of Connecticut

State of Connecticut v. Jerzy G. — Espinosa, J., Dissenting

July 11, 2017326 Conn. 206

Summary

Justice Espinosa dissented from the conclusion that the defendant's appeal was not moot under the collateral-consequences doctrine. She would have held that the possibility of future immigration consequences was speculative because the record did not show that the defendant intended or would be permitted to reenter the country. She further stated that, even if the appeal were not moot, the trial court acted within its discretion in terminating accelerated rehabilitation after the defendant's deportation. No separate opinion was provided.
