Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Smith

August 11, 2020

Summary

The court dismissed the defendant’s petition for certification seeking review of the Appellate Court’s denial of relief from an order refusing to modify his bail. It declined to exercise jurisdiction because the case arrived in a posture that did not ordinarily permit further review, the record lacked evidence necessary to assess the defendant’s health and detention conditions, and the broader need for pandemic-related procedural guidance was undeveloped.
