State v. King
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the appellate court upholding Defendant's conviction of violating Conn. Gen. Stat. 14-227a(a) and the enhancement of his sentence under Conn. Gen. Stat. 14-227a(g), holding that the appellate court correctly concluded that the trial court had properly sentenced Defendant as a third time offender under section 14-227a(g).
At issue on appeal was whether the appellate court erred in concluding that the elements of Florida's driving under the influence statute, Fla. Stat. Ann. 316.193, which Defendant had twice been convicted of violating, were substantially the same as the elements of section 14-227a(a) for enhancement purposes under section 14-227a(g). The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the essential elements of section 14-227a(a) and section 316.193 were substantially the same.
