Argued December 2, 1992
Decision released December 22, 1992
Substitute information charging the defendant with the crimes of criminal mischief in the first degree, reckless endangerment in the first degree and unlawful discharge of a firearm, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford-New Britain at Hartford and tried to the jury before Freed, J.; verdict and judgment of guilty, from which the defendant appealed to this court. Reversed; new trial.
Helena P. Walton, with whom were William H. Narwold and William H. Bright, Jr., for the appellant (defendant).
Marjorie Allen Dauster, deputy assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were John M. Bailey, state's attorney, and Joan Alexander, assistant state's attorney, for the appellee (state).
The state concedes and we agree that the instructions of the trial court constitute reversible error.
