State v. Daniels
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed in part the judgment of the appellate court reversing Defendant's convictions for intentional manslaughter, reckless manslaughter, and criminally negligent operation of a motor vehicle, holding that the appellate court improperly ordered a new trial on all three charges.
At the sentencing hearing, the trial court vacated Defendant's intentional manslaughter conviction pursuant to State v. Polanco, 61 A.3d 1084 (Conn. 2013), and rendered judgment on the remaining counts of conviction. The appellate court concluded that Defendant's convictions for reckless manslaughter and criminally negligent operation were legally inconsistent but that neither reckless manslaughter nor criminal negligent operation was inconsistent with intentional manslaughter. The court then remanded the case for a new trial on all charges. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding that the appellate court should have reinstated Defendant's intentional manslaughter conviction.
