Ian O’Connor, administrator v. David Leff, conservator, et al.: Representing the father of a Branford girl who died after being shot by her mother, New London lawyer Chester Fairlie said he set out to determine whether the mother’s conservator owed any third-party obligation akin to the so-called “Taranoff duty,” which requires a psychiatrist to warn of a patient’s credible threat to seriously harm someone else.
The plaintiff, Ian O’Connor, is the former husband of Jennifer O’Connor, who in 2004 shot their sleeping 7-year-old daughter, Sara, with a Winchester rifle. A single parent, Jennifer O’Connor immediately confessed to police, saying she was frustrated by her daughter’s learning disability. The child died after four days in intensive care.
