State of Connecticut v. Jessie Campbell Iii

Summary

The court dismissed the defendant's penalty-phase and death-sentence challenges as unripe because he had not yet been resentenced and the factual circumstances of any future confinement were uncertain; it declined to decide whether those claims were moot. The court affirmed the judgment of conviction, rejecting claims concerning the defendant's presence at scheduling conferences, continuances, jury impartiality, competency, vagueness, sufficiency of the evidence, extreme emotional disturbance, autopsy reports, and evidence related to a withdrawn count, while upholding the admission of prior misconduct evidence. No separate opinions were filed.
