The principal issue in this criminal
appeal is whether a statute imposing on the defendant

the defense of mental disease or defect violates the
due process provisions of the Connecticut constitution.
The state charged the defendant, Angelo Joyner, with
one count of kidnapping in the first degree, in
[225 Conn. 452]
violation of General Statutes 53a-92(a)(2)(A); one count
of assault in the first degree, in violation of General
Statutes 53a-59(a)(1); and three counts of sexual
assault in the first degree, in violation of General Statutes
53a-70(a)(1).1 A jury found the defendant guilty
of all the crimes charged, and the trial court sentenced
him to a term of imprisonment of fifty years He appeals
to this court pursuant to General Statutes 51-199(b)(3).
We affirm the judgment of the trial court.
