State v. Barile

Summary

The Connecticut Supreme Court affirmed a judgment finding Michael Barile in violation of probation for failing to complete court-ordered sex offender treatment. The court held that Barile waived any federal or state constitutional claims against a probation condition requiring him to undergo a polygraph examination because he did not raise those claims below and affirmatively acquiesced to the order.

Holdings

1. The court did not reach the merits of the constitutional challenge because Barile waived the claims by failing to raise them in the trial court and by affirmatively acquiescing in the order requiring the polygraph examination.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the trial court violated Barile's rights against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and article first, § 8, of the Connecticut Constitution by ordering him to undergo a polygraph examination during the dispositional phase of a probation-violation proceeding.

Disposition

affirmed
