The Connecticut Supreme Court has eviscerated both the plain meaning rule and the rule of lenity in one fell swoop. This is shameful and rather obviously result oriented. Even heavily anti-defendant jurisdictions such as Virginia and the Fourth Circuit do not have the temerity to totally abridge criminal defendant's rights like this. Shameful.
