James R. Lee, Assistant Attorney General, with whom Jeffrey B.

Pine, Attorney General, was on brief for appellee Michael Bosquet.

Offices were on brief for appellees Town of Middletown, Robert A.

in effect, to amend his complaint by oral representations to the

trial judge to describe in detail the facts that he was prepared

tional claim that the evidence was manufactured or that the

Constitution was otherwise violated.
