Last week the Connecticut Supreme Court released its decision in State v. Langston, holding that a trial court, when sentencing a defendant for a crime of which he was convicted, could consider the conduct underlying a charge of which he was acquitted, if it found, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant had committed the crime, notwithstanding his acquittal of that charge. In rejecting the defendant's claim that the sentencing court's consideration of the conduct underlying the assault charge of which he was acquitted violated his federal and state constitutional rights to due process and to a trial by jury, the court relied upon U.S. v. Watts, and its own earlier decision State v. Huey.
