STATE of Connecticut v. Divenson PETION
    Supreme Court of Connecticut.
    Decided June 14, 2017
    Jennifer B. Smith, assigned counsel, in support of the petition.
    James Ralls, assistant state's attorney, in opposition.
    The defendant's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 172 Conn.App. 668, 161 A.3d 618 (2017), is granted, limited to the following issue:
    "In rejecting the defendant's claim that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction of assault in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-59 (a) (1) with respect to Rosa Bran, did the Appellate Court properly conclude that a jury reasonably could have found that the one and one-half inch scar on her forearm constituted serious disfigurement, and therefore, a serious physical injury?"
