Opinion
LAVERY, C. J.
The defendant, Oswaldo Ortiz, Jr., appeals from the judgment of conviction, rendered after a jury trial, of robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-134 (a) (4), robbery of an occupied motor vehicle in violation of General Statutes § 53a-136a and robbery in the second degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-135 (a) (1). We conclude that it was plain error for the court to fail to instruct the jury on the affirmative defense of inoperability of the gun involved in the incident at issue, as provided for in the text of § 53a-134 (a) (4)…
