View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court properly applied the best interests standard set forth in Colo. Rev. Stat. § 14-10-129(1)(a)(II) and considered the factors mandated under that provision, rather than applying the endangerment standard set forth in § 14-10-129(1)(b)(I), to a mother's motion to move to Florida with her children.

View this case - free  

Overview: The termination of the parental rights of a child in an action involving the Citizen Potawatomi Nation was inappropriate because it was not given notice of the motion for termination as required under the Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978, 25 U.S.C.S. § 1901 et seq., and 25 U.S.C.S. § 1912(a).

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court properly denied defendant's Colo. R. Crim. P. 35(a) motion to correct illegal sentence because all of his claims but one were Rule 35(c) claims as they challenged constitutionality of defendant's sentence, and claims were time barred pursuant to Colo. Rev. Stat. § 16-5-402 (2006) as motion was not filed within three years of sentencing.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant's motion to substitute counsel was denied, remand was necessary because, under the Sixth Amendment, the trial court erred in failing to inquire since the duty of inquiry was triggered by defendant's complaints about counsel's lack of communication and nearly complete failure to investigate potential defenses.

People v. Knight, Court of Appeals No. 03CA1526, COURT OF APPEALS OF COLORADO, DIVISION ONE, November 30, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Court denied severance of first degree murder and aggravated motor vehicle theft charges, Colo. R. Crim.

People v. Renander, Court of Appeals No. 06CA1546, COURT OF APPEALS OF COLORADO, DIVISION SIX, November 30, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant was charged with sexual exploitation of a child, the district court violated the separation of powers doctrine by ordering the prosecutor to reassemble 31 of the counts by victim rather than by image because, inter alia, under Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-6-403, each offending image constituted a separate and distinct sexual exploitation.

People v. Santana-Medrano, Court of Appeals No. 04CA2152, COURT OF APPEALS OF COLORADO, DIVISION FOUR, November 30, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Lack of a mens rea in "physical force or physical violence" special interrogatory was not error because Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-3-402(4) did not require proof of mens rea to convict defendant of class three felony offense but demonstrated intent that offenders who used physical force or violence during sexual assault should be punished more severely.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant admitted that he killed his wife, his right to confront witnesses against him under the Sixth Amendment was not violated when his unavailable wife's statements were admitted under the doctrine of forfeiture by wrongdoing because he forfeited his right to confrontation by intentionally killing her.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was properly convicted of offenses related to defendant's discharge of a firearm into an occupied vehicle, since undue appellate delay was not prejudicial, out-of-court identifications were reliable, any improper testimony and argument did not deprive defendant of a fair trial, and the jury verdicts were not unsupported or inconsistent.
