State v. Lenarz
Jul 19, 2011OUTCOME: Conviction Reveresed and Charge Dismissed
Client's conviction was appealed to the Connecticut Appellate Court on two grounds both of which had been raised with the trial court. The main issue involved the attorney client privilege as provided ... by the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In July of 2011, the Connecticut Supreme Court released its decision and issued a complete dismissal of the sole conviction. The Court held that the taint caused by the state's intrusion into the attorney client privileged communications would be irremediable on retrial and the charge of which the defendant was convicted must be dismissed. Attorney Billings was responsible for drafting the brief and assisted the lead attorney.
