Description
This case arises out of the death of a battered child. The defendant Forrest Tucker Was charged by indictment with murder of the child, in violation of General Statutes 53a-54a (a),1 and by information with risk of injury to the child, in violation of General Statutes 53-21.2 The trial court, O'Sullivan, J., agreed, on motion by the defendant, to sever the murder and the risk of injury counts. Thereupon the state elected to prosecute first the indictment of murder. The defendant was tried to a jury and was acquitted of murder but convicted of manslaughter in the first degree in violation of General Statutes 53a-55 (a) (1).3 [181 Conn. 409]
