Description
The defendant was presented in the
Superior Court on an information charging him with
thirteen counts of arson in violation of 53-83 of
the General Statutes. Following a jury trial,
separate verdicts of guilty were returned on ten
counts and verdicts of not guilty were returned on
three counts. The court accepted the verdicts.
Thereafter, the defendant filed a motion to set
aside "the verdict" which the court and counsel
treated as a motion to set aside each guilty
verdict. Following a hearing on the motion, the
court set aside the verdicts on four counts but
refused to set aside the verdicts on the remaining
six counts. Judgment was rendered on the verdicts
on six counts, and an identical sentence to the
state prison was imposed on each count, the
sentences to run concurrently. The defendant has appealed from the judgment,
assigning error in the finding; in the denial of a
motion to suppress the testimony of certain police
officers; in the refusal to charge the jury as
requested in the charge as given; and in the denial
of the motion to set aside the verdicts on the six
counts on which judgment was rendered, the claim
being that those verdicts were not supported by
the evidence.
