Supreme Court of Connecticut April 11, 1995, 15113 (Hines v. Saint Vincent's Medical Center)

lead-opinion

Berdon, J.

The sole issue in this appeal is whether the trial court was correct in refusing to instruct the jury that an adverse inference could be drawn from the defendant’s failure to call a witness to testify.1 The *633plaintiff, Christina Hines, is administratrix of the estate of her deceased daughter, Jessica Hines.
