State v. Blaine

This case returns to us on remand from our Supreme Court with direction to consider the claim of plain error raised by the defendant, Jayevon Blaine, in light of State v. McClain, 324 Conn. 782 , 155 A.3d 209 (2017). 1 The defendant previously appealed from the judgment of conviction of conspiracy to commit robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-48 and 53a-134 (a) (2). 2 We held in our prior opinion that the waiver of a claim of instructional error pursuant to State v. Kitchens , 299 Conn. 447 , 10 A.3d 942 (2011), precluded review of the claim of plain error.
