Supreme Court of Connecticut August 13, 2002, SC 16514 (State v. Hedman)

Opinion

VERTEFEUILLE, J.

As in the companion case of State v. Valedon, 261 Conn. 381, 802 A.2d 836 (2002), which we also have decided today, this certified appeal requires us to determine whether Practice Book § 43-*39210 (3) requires the trial court affirmatively to offer a defendant an opportunity to address the court personally during the dispositional phase of a probation revocation hearing.
