Supreme Court of Connecticut
Johnson v. Superior Court
June 17, 2025352 Conn. 161
Summary
The court dismissed the writ of error challenging three summary criminal contempt findings arising from repeated interruptions, racial slurs, and profanity directed at the trial court. It held that the proceeding substantially complied with due process requirements, that deferral and reassignment were not required because the conduct obstructed the proceeding and the judge remained calm and detached, and that competency concerns did not require postponement. There were no separate opinions.
