Head Matter:
State of Connecticut v. William Guckian
Jack W. Fischer, deputy assistant state’s attorney, in support of the petition.
Lawrence D. Church, in opposition.
Decided July 9, 1992

Opinion:
The state of Connecticut's petition for certification for appeal from the Appellate Court, 27 Conn. App. 225, is granted, limited to the following questions:
"1. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the term 'crime' as used in Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 includes motor vehicle violations?
"2. Did the Appellate Court properly determine that the requirement of Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 that there be a 'relationship' between the alcohol or drug dependency and the crime committed does not require a showing of a causal or contributory link between the dependency and the crime?"
Public Acts 1989, No. 89-390 is now codified in General Statutes § 17a-648 through 17a-658.
