Judges are known for their authoritative words from the bench as fact-finders in civil and criminal matters. They are not typically known for their eyewitness testimony.
In an event that is especially rare in Connecticut, a Superior Court judge will be called upon to testify in a criminal trial of a Sherman man accused of trying to bribe the judge. The state’s case against Dominic Badaracco the trial had been originally scheduled for this month, but has been pushed back to early next year relies heavily on the testimony of Superior Court Judge Robert Brunetti.
