Decided September 12, 2002

"Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the defendant's conviction under General Statutes § 29-38 because the state failed to prove that the defendant intended to carry the hammer in his vehicle with the intent to use it as a dangerous instrument?"
The Supreme Court docket number is SC 16829.
Toni M. Smith-Rosario, assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition.
