Moon v. Commissioner of Correction

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of habeas relief because the petitioner did not prove by clear and convincing evidence that his alleged coconspirator lacked the specific intent necessary to conspire with him. The court held that evidence from a separately tried coconspirator's criminal case may be considered in an actual innocence proceeding, but an insanity acquittal does not necessarily establish the absence of criminal intent. The court concluded that the evidence showed mental impairment affecting appreciation of wrongfulness or behavioral control, but did not establish that the impairment negated specific intent.
