Leon BELL v. COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTION

Sarah Hanna, assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition. David B. Rozwaski, assigned counsel, in opposition.

The respondent's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 184 Conn.App. 150, 194 A.3d 809 (2018), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the absence of an instruction in accordance with State v. Salamon, 287 Conn. 509, 949 A.2d 1092 (2008), at the petitioner's criminal trial was not harmless error?"

McDONALD and MULLINS, Js., would deny the petition.
