Opinion of the Court

The petition of the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 54 Conn. App. 201 (AC 17194), is granted, limited to the following issues:

“ 1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the trial court’s instructions regarding ‘appropriate’ were constitutionally inadequate?

“2. If the answer to the first question is ‘yes’ was the error harmful?”

Joel M. Ellis and Donald E. Weisman, in opposition. Decided November 2, 1999
