Court: Appellate Court of Connecticut

Date published: Dec 2, 2003

80 Conn. App. 904 (Conn. App. Ct. 2003)

Opinion

(AC 23507).

Argued October 30, 2003.

Officially released December 2, 2003.

Defendant's appeal from the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford, Scheinblum, J.

Per Curiam.

The state concedes, and we agree after our review of the record, that the trial court's plea canvass did not substantially comport with the constitutional mandates of Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S. Ct. 1709, 23 L. Ed. 2d 274 (1969).

The judgment is reversed and the case is remanded with direction to allow the defendant to withdraw his plea of guilty.
