Responding to a surge in gun-related violence in New Britain, State’s Attorney Brian Preleski has assigned a prosecutor to focus on gun-related cases full time. Meanwhile, a Superior Court judge has been assigned to a special gun docket.
The gun case prosecutor is Assistant State’s Attorney Chris Watson, a University of Connecticut School of Law graduate and New Britain native who interned for the State’s Attorneys Office in his hometown before earning his stripes as a prosecutor in the Bronx and then New Haven. Watson will handle the cases in front of the presiding criminal judge, Judge Hillary B. Strackbein. The state also has a handful of other specialty dockets, most notably those that handle domestic violence cases.
