State v. Valinski
249 Conn. 924 | Conn. | 1999
The petition of the state of Connecticut for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 53 Conn. App. 23 (AC 17466), is granted, limited to the following issue:
“Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that, with respect to the judgment of conviction for operating a motor vehicle while the defendant’s license was under suspension, the trial court’s instruction, placing the burden of persuasion on the defendant regarding whether he was operating under a work permit, impermissibly diluted the state’s burden of proof?”
