Case Summary

Connecticut’s Criminal Records Erasure Statute (Erasure Statute) does not render historically accurate news accounts of an arrest tortious or defamatory on the grounds that the charges were later nolled and the record of the arrest was erased.

The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
