State v. Petion, 326 Conn. 906

The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 172 Conn.App. 668, 161 A.3d 618 (2017), is granted, limited to the following issue:

"In rejecting the defendant's claim that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction of assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-59 (a) (1) with respect to Rosa Bran, did the Appellate Court properly conclude that a jury reasonably could have found that the one and one-half inch scar on her forearm constituted serious disfigurement, and therefore, a serious physical injury?"
