Supreme Court of Connecticut

State v. Christon M.

January 13, 2026354 Conn. 1

Summary

The court affirmed the defendant's convictions, holding that the home invasion information gave him adequate notice of liability under either relevant statutory subdivision and that the jury instruction on the deadly-weapon subdivision did not constitute plain error. The court also held that home invasion and first degree assault with a firearm were not the same offense for double jeopardy purposes because each required proof of an element the other did not. The defendant's unpreserved double jeopardy claim therefore failed under the applicable constitutional-error review.
