Opinion
The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 158 Conn.App. 315, 118 A.3d 728 (2015), is granted, limited to the following issues:
“1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the defendant had abandoned his claim that the trial court, in denying defense motions to vacate the guilty verdicts on counts one and two, had exceeded its powers and violated the defendant's constitutional right to have factual determinations made by the jury?
“2. Did the Appellate Court properly conclude that the defendant failed to meet his burden of establishing that the answer to the interrogatory was an unanimous resolution that the conduct of David Servin constituted an intervening cause?
“3. Did the Appellate Court properly allow the defendant to address the issues of both the unanimity of the interrogatory and the propriety of same?”
