Overview: Trial court erred in denying defendant's motion for postconviction relief for violating Colo. Const. art. II, ? 16 as the public defender failed to perfect a direct appeal, despite his repeated written requests. The trial court applied the Strickland test incorrectly; this type of claim did not require a showing of meritorious grounds for appeal.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's Fourth Amendment rights were not violated because the trial court correctly applied the emergency aid exception to warrantless search of defendant's apartment where he called 911 to report that he last saw victim being beaten by an intruder in his apartment; thus, it was reasonable for the police to attempt to render aid to the victim.
