Supreme Court of Connecticut

Bowens v. Commissioner of Correction

October 22, 2019333 Conn. 502

Summary

The court affirmed denial of the petitioner's second habeas petition, concluding that he did not prove actual innocence, a due process violation from the identification evidence, or ineffective assistance arising from the handling of an alibi witness. The court also held that, even assuming the habeas court should have reached the merits of the juvenile-sentencing claim, parole eligibility provided an adequate remedy and resentencing was not required. No separate opinion is included in the record provided.
