Moon v. Commissioner of Correction

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of habeas relief because the petitioner failed to prove by clear and convincing evidence that his alleged coconspirator lacked the specific intent required for conspiracy. The court held that evidence from a separately tried coconspirator's case may be considered in an actual-innocence proceeding, but an insanity acquittal does not necessarily establish the absence of criminal intent. The aggregate evidence showed mental impairment but did not establish whether that impairment negated intent or merely impaired the coconspirator's appreciation of wrongfulness.
