State v. Brescia

Opinion

In this case, the state, concededly in error, prosecuted the defendant, Mark A. Brescia, for conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-48 and 53a-138, even though the evidence on which it relied at the defendant’s plea hearing did not support that charge. Rather, the evidence supported only a charge of conspiracy to commit forgery in the second degree in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-48 and 53a-139. Nevertheless, the defendant pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree and thereafter was sentenced accordingly.
