Description
The defendant, Roy A. King, was convicted
of the crimes of attempted murder in violation of
General Statutes 53a-49 and 53a-54a (a), assault in the
first degree in violation of General Statutes 53a-59
(a)(3) and arson in the first degree in violation of
General Statutes 53a-111 (a)(2). In State v. King,
216 Conn. 585, 603-604, 583 A.2d 896 (1990), in which we
set forth the relevant facts in detail, we ordered a
new trial as to the counts of attempted murder and
assault in the first degree. We also ordered further
proceedings as to the arson count because we concluded
that the trial court improperly had failed to order the
production of a report prepared by a state police
officer concerning interviews that the officer had
conducted with certain inmates and that the trial court
had failed to conduct an in camera inspection of that
report. Id., 599-600. Specifically, we ordered the
trial court to answer three questions concerning the
report: (1) whether the report in question was a
"statement" under Practice Book 749; (2) if so, whether
all of the statement or any portion of it should have
been disclosed pursuant to Practice Book 752 and 753;
and (3) if all or a portion of the statement should
have been disclosed, whether the defendant was
prejudiced by the nondisclosure. Id., 599. On remand, the trial court conducted the required
examination and concluded that the report was a
"statement" under 749 and that a portion of it should
have been disclosed, but that the defendant had not
been harmed by his inability to gain access to the
undisclosed material. We granted the defendant's
