Description
The defendant, Richard Patterson, was convicted, after a trial
to a three judge court, of murder in violation of General
Statutes 53a-54a(a).1 The defendant appealed2 from the
judgment of conviction claiming that: (1) the state failed to
prove the element of intent beyond a reasonable doubt; and (2)
the evidence presented by the defendant established, as a matter
of law, the affirmative defenses of insanity3 and,
[229 Conn. 330]
in the alternative, extreme emotional disturbance. After hearing
oral argument, we remanded the case to the three judge court for
an articulation of the facts underlying its determination that
the defendant had committed the crime of murder.4 State v.
Patterson, 227 Conn. 448, 629 A.2d 1133 (1993). The articulation
rendered by the court pursuant to our remand sets forth its
factual findings and explains its reasons for rejecting the
defendant's affirmative defenses. Because the factual findings
and verdict of the three judge court are supported by the
evidence, we affirm the judgment of conviction.
