Connecticut Appellate Court August 4, 1992, 10485 (Veal v. Warden)

Lavery, J.

The principal issue in this habeas corpus appeal is whether the habeas court properly found that the petitioner, Samuel J. Veal, was afforded effective assistance of counsel as guaranteed by the United States and Connecticut constitutions. A jury found the petitioner guilty of murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54a,1 and the trial court imposed a sentence of sixty years.
