Opinion
On September 18, 1996, the appeal was dismissed as moot because of the death of the defendant.
The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 41 Conn. App. 7 (AC 13990), is granted, limited to the following issue:
"Under the state constitution, if initial statements made by a defendant are excluded only because of a Miranda violation, and not because they were coerced, must the subsequent post- Miranda statements be excluded in the absence of a showing of a break in the stream of events?"
The Supreme Court, docket number is SC 15427.
Todd Edgingtion, assistant public defender, in support of the petition.
Ronald G. Weller, deputy assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
