A Danbury man now faces serious charges after allegedly violating a protective order and installing a hidden camera in a woman’s home.

A New Fairfield man convicted last year in the stabbing death of a Newtown man is appealing his guilty verdict. Patrick Griffin filed a direct appeal with the state Appellate Court, challenging his conviction on two counts of first-degree manslaughter related to the 2022 incident.
