  4. State v. Jamison

    152 Conn. App. 753 (Conn. App. Ct. 2014)   Cited 4 times
    In Jamison, while the defendant failed to preserve the claim of instructional error; id., at 760, 99 A.3d 1273; the court did not consider whether the defendant had waived it. The court did not consider the nature of the charging conference, whether the defendant received a copy of the court's instructions, and whether the defendant affirmatively stated that he had no objections. The issue of waiver was, therefore, never before the court.
