State v. Walker
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of conspiracy to commit assault in the first degree. Defendant appealed, claiming that his exclusion from an in chambers discussion regarding defense counsel’s possible conflict of interest violated his constitutional right to be present at all critical stages of the prosecution. The claim was unpreserved and so Defendant sought review pursuant to State v. Golding. The Appellate Court affirmed the judgment of conviction, determining that the record was inadequate to review the claim. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the record, as it presently stood, was not adequate for appellate review.
