–The majority (63%) of persons incarcerated in Connecticut are doing time for non-violent offenses. This amounts to 11,412 inmates.
–Connecticut now has uniform procedures for land use appeals. Having brought appeals in different courts, this is a very welcome development. Procedures used to vary from court to court, which was confusing.
-Judging by the Judicial Department’s website, it appears that Susan Bysiewicz is heading for a hearing on April 20th. The site lists court dates on April 6th (for a hearing) and April 14th and 15th for pretrial conferences. This means it’s possible for the trial court to rule before the State Democratic convention on May 21st. Of course, this blogger predicts an appeal no matter what the trial court does. In that case, there’s no way the Supreme Court resolves the matter prior to the convention.
-Plenty of movement on CT’s Appellate bench.
-For all you Supreme Court bobblehead fans, head down to Yale.
