2010Although the majority cites State v. Canales, 281 Conn. 572, 583-84 , 916 A.2d 767 (2007), for the proposition that this court will not review a claim unless it is based on a complete factual record developed by the trial court, I am not convinced that Canales is a useful analog to the present case.
