The first week of January 2014 saw the beginning of the penalty phase hearing in Bridgeport Superior Court in the Roszkowski case. This is the case where the defendant has been convicted of three murders including that of a 9-year-old girl. He was originally sentenced to death by a jury, but due to a penalty phase instructional error the trial judge overturned the death sentence and ordered a new penalty phase proceeding.
After months of jury selection this past fall, the evidentiary portion of the penalty phase lasted for three weeks in January, only to be continued from Jan. 21 until Feb. 3, to give prosecutors time to examine 1,000 pages of documents the defense intends to use in presenting its case.
