Description
The principal issue raised by this appeal is whether General Statutes § 53-202k permits the trial court, rather than the jury, to find that a defendant, who was convicted by a jury of a class A, B or C felony, had used a firearm in the commission of such felony. The defendant, Victor Velasco, was charged with the crimes of felony murder in violation of General Statutes § 53a-54c and conspiracy to commit robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes §Â§ 53a-48 (a) and 53a-134 (a) (3). He also was charged under § 53-202k with committing robbery in the first degree with a firearm. Following a jury trial, the defendant was found guilty on the first two counts. The trial court rendered judgment and sentenced the defendant to a term of imprisonment of sixty years on the felony murder conviction, execution suspended after fifty years, and a twenty year concurrent term of imprisonment on the conspiracy conviction. The trial court then determined, from the evidence presented at trial, that the defendant had used a firearm in violation of § 53-202k. Accordingly, the trial court also imposed a five year sentence to run consecutively with the other sentences for the conviction under § 53-202k.
