I do not understand how a defendant can be convicted of the felony criminal threatening of a person with whom the defendant has not communicated. Judge Gold's Memorandum of Decision setting forth the conviction makes it clear that Taupier did not transmit, directly or even indirectly, the supposedly threatening communications to Bozzuto. Instead, he emailed them to only six private individuals. Thus, I believe that as a matter of law that conviction has to fail. But then again, in Connecticut, there is no accountability for judicial wrongdoing, so Judge Gold and Judge Bozzuto can do whatever they want, even if that means sending a guy to prison for six years for supposedly criminally threatening someone with whom he has not communicated.
