Description
The plaintiff, Guillermo Aillon,
was found guilty of three counts of murder after a
jury trial. In November of 1973, the plaintiff
learned from certain newspaper articles that the
judge who presided at his trial had engaged in an
ex parte conversation with a juror after the case
had been submitted to the jury. The plaintiff
thereupon filed a petition for a new trial
pursuant to 52-270 of the General Statutes. After
a hearing on that petition, the court concluded
that a new trial should be granted and from the
judgment rendered the state has appealed to this
court. The state has assigned error in the court's
refusal to find material facts claimed to be
admitted or undisputed, in finding certain facts
without evidence, in finding facts of doubtful
meaning, in the conclusions reached, in rulings on
evidence, and in the overruling of its claims of
law. The finding1 discloses that the voir dire of
prospective jurors for the plaintiff's trial began
on May 18, 1973. On June 26, 1973, the selection
of twelve jurors and two alternates was completed.
The actual trial commenced on July 5, 1973, and
the presentation of evidence, including the testimony
of sixty witnesses, lasted until August 22,
