    State of Connecticut v. Daniel B.
    Supreme Court of Connecticut.
    Decided September 20, 2016
    Philip Russell and A. Paul Spinella, in support of the petition.
    Ronald G. Weller, senior assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
    The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 164 Conn. App. 318, 137 A.3d 837 (2016), is granted, limited to the following issue:
    "In concluding that there was sufficient evidence to sustain the defendant's conviction of attempted murder in violation of General Statutes §§ 53a-54a and 53a-49 (a) (2), did the Appellate Court properly construe § 53a-49 (a) (2) in determining that the defendant's conduct constituted a 'substantial step in a course of conduct planned to culminate in his commission' of murder?"
    EVELEIGH, J., did not participate in the consideration of or decision on this petition.
