Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Henderson

March 19, 2024348 Conn. 648

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant’s home invasion conviction, holding that the claimed inconsistency between the guilty verdict and the acquittal on third degree burglary was not reviewable on appeal and did not constitute plain error. The court also held that the trial court acted within its discretion in denying a mistrial after COVID-19 caused a twenty-five-day interruption in jury deliberations, because the defendant showed no substantial, irreparable, or identifiable prejudice. No separate opinions were filed.
