The state's petition for certification to appeal from the Appellate Court, 206 Conn. App. 70, 259 A.3d 676 (AC 42039), is granted, limited to the following issues:
"1. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the trial court violated the defendant's right to confrontation when it admitted testimony affirming that the alleged victim had consented to the police investigation?
"2. Did the Appellate Court correctly conclude that the state had failed to establish that the claimed confrontation clause violation was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt?"
ROBINSON, C. J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
