Courts in Connecticut and police departments in Meriden, Southington and no doubt elsewhere, are dealing with the CSI Effect, in which jurors and victims expect regular use of technology to collect evidence. This is actually a good development, though with costs, if you consider earlier expectations of defendant confessions or less reliable evidence.
Colony Street in downtown Meriden needs life and may eventually get it from the revived rail service and the attendant walkways and park. But right now, the key would seem to be to bring in some sort of foot traffic.
Connecticut’s legislature has a lot on its plate when the session opens Wednesday, but that is pretty standard. There should be some interesting debates and there could be some interesting laws made.
