Opinion
Decided March 1, 1990
The state of Connecticut's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 20 Conn. App. 342, is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Did the Appellate Court err in holding that the trial court abused its discretion by excluding the testimony of the defendant's mother as to whether her `other children suffer from any physical ailments, any medical problems' prior to any evidence that the defendant suffered from a genetic mental disorder?"
Timothy J. Sugrue, deputy assistant state's attorney, Mary M. Galvin, state's attorney, and Michael J. Weber, Jr., deputy assistant state's attorney, in support of the petition.
Elaine M. Scanlon, in opposition.
