View this case - free  

Overview: In a trial for sexual assault on a child, the trial court erred by concluding the Colorado rape shield law, Colo. Rev.

Reversal was not required, because defendant failed to lay an adequate foundation for such questions.

Candelaria v. People, Case No. 04SC657, SUPREME COURT OF COLORADO, December 18, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-3-102(1)(d) restricted a required killing act to one evidencing an attitude of universal malice, rather than altering the mental state required for commission of the crime, findings for first-degree murder of extreme indifference and specific intent with regard to a specific individual were not legally inconsistent.
