The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. David Wayne White, Respondent

Summary

The court held that a juror remained qualified to serve in Teller County because he retained his legal residence there, despite temporarily living with his sister in another county for work and training. The statutory disqualification for residence outside the county applies only when a juror both establishes a domicile outside the county and lacks an intention to return within twelve months. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded with directions to reinstate the convictions. Justice Martinez, joined by Justice Bender, dissented, concluding that the statute's text did not support using the principal-or-primary-home test and that the juror was unqualified.
