2024Indeed, neither party presented evidence as to the value of the plaintiff’s pension, in the form of expert testimony or otherwise, and ‘‘[i]t is not the function of the court to make calculations of that sort to fill evidentiary gaps.’’ Mongillo v.

2021Further, as our Supreme Court observed in State v. Cushard, 328 Conn. 558, 568 , 181 A.3d 74 (2018), ‘‘the court may accept a waiver of the right to counsel with- out specifically questioning a defendant on each of the factors listed in [Practice Book] § [44-3] if the record is sufficient to establish that the waiver is voluntary and knowing.’’ (Internal quotation marks omitted.) The defendant, in essence, claims that the court did not inquire sufficiently into whether he indeed was com- petent to knowingly and voluntarily waive his right to counsel.
