Supreme Court of Connecticut
State v. Hamilton, 225 Conn. 910 (Conn. 1993)
621 A.2d 290; 1993 Conn. LEXIS 90

State v. Hamilton

Opinion of the Court

The defendant’s petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 30 Conn. App. 68 (AC 10692), is granted, limited to the following issue:

“Did the Appellate Court improperly commingle direct appeal and collateral review standards and thereby arrive at the erroneous and harmful legal conclusion that in order to prevail on a direct appeal claim that the trial court erred in denying the defendant’s motion for a continuance to obtain new counsel, the defendant must demonstrate ‘specific prejudice’ or claim ‘ineffective assistance of counsel’?”
