Attorney Zito also testified and organized testimony in support of several legislative initiatives including the passage of new laws involving eyewitness identification reform, habeas reform, electronic recording of interrogations, raise the age legislation incorporating 16 and 17 year olds into CT’s juvenile justice system, and house arrest for DUI offenders.
