State v. Francis

Berdon, J.,

concurring.

I agree with parts I, II and III of the majority opinion, and I agree that the claim pertaining to the instructions on consciousness of guilt in part IV was not preserved.

I also agree with the result in part V, but disagree specifically with footnote 19 and with the suggestion in footnote 18 that a “balanced” instruction may be given. See State v. Stanley, 223 Conn. 674, 702-703, 613 A.2d 788 (1992) (Berdon, J., dissenting).
