Allison M. Near, assigned counsel, in support of the petition.
The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 169 Conn.App. 470, 151 A.3d 412 (2016), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"In concluding that the defendant could not prevail on his motion to strike the voir dire panel on the ground that it failed to constitute a fair cross-section of the community:
"1. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that census data pertaining to the entire African–American population in Connecticut and New London county was not probative evidence with respect to the claimed underrepresentation of African–American males in the jury pool?
"2. Did the Appellate Court properly decline, in light of the provisions of General Statutes § 51–232 (c), to exercise its supervisory authority over the administration of justice to enforce the collection of demographic data to permit analysis of the diversity of jury panels in Connecticut?"
