Christopher Plaskson Sues CT, Seeks $300K Over Medical Care

MILFORD, CT — Christopher Plaskson, who is serving a 25-year prison sentence for fatally stabbing Maren Sanchez, 16, at Jonathan Law High School in 2014, has filed suit against the state Department of Corrections, the Hartford Courant reports.

Plaskon, who is acting as his own attorney, is seeking $300,000 and claims in the 23-page handwritten lawsuit that the state failed to adequately address his severe stomach issues, which includes severe pain, nausea and diarrhea, the Courant's Nicholas Rondinone reports. The stomach woes date back to 2018, the suit claims.
