CommentaryJust recently in State v. King, the Connecticut Supreme Court was presented with the defendant's claim in her appeal from a judgment of conviction of murder that the three-judge panel in her case violated her due process rights because it began deliberations prior to the close of evidence and the submission of the case to the panel. She asked the court to extend the holding in State v. Washington,182 Conn. 419 (1980), which established a constitutional prohibition against jury deliberations until the close of evidence and the submission of the case to the fact finder, to cases involving three judge panels.
