Gonzalez v. Connecticut

United States Supreme Court; Case No. 14-9997

Prior Decision

Decision below 315 Conn. 564, 109 A.3d 453 (Conn. Feb. 24 2015).

Argument(s)

This Court should grant certiorari to address the scope of a criminal defendant’s ‘right to a unanimous jury verdict.’ This Court should grant certiorari to explain what circumstances, if any, permit a judge presiding over a criminal trial to invade the secrecy of jury deliberations.
