Information charging the defendant with the crimes of arson in the first degree and conspiracy to commit arson, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Hartford-New Britain at Hartford, and tried to the jury before Purtill, J.; verdict and judgment of guilty on both counts; thereafter, the court denied the defendant's motion for a new trial and the defendant appealed to this court. Appeal dismissed.
Denise Derby, for the appellant (defendant).
Christopher Malany, deputy assistant state's attorney, with whom, on the brief, were Kin McMahon, assistant state's attorney and William Korey, legal intern, for the appellee (state).
Oral argument in this appeal was held on June 10, 1987. After oral argument, the defendant died. The appeal must, therefore, be dismissed as moot. State v. Grasso, 172 Conn. 298, 299, 374 A.2d 239 (1977).
