The Connecticut Appellate Court reversed a criminal defendant’s assault conviction, finding that the trial court erred in denying his motion to suppress certain statements he made to police while in the hospital and without being advised of his Miranda rights.

In his appeal, Alexander A.

Arizona, according to the appellate court’s opinion released on Tuesday.
