Supreme Court of Colorado

M.t. v. People — Hobbs, J., Concurring

February 13, 2012269 P.3d 1219

Summary

Justice Hobbs concurred in the court's judgment, providing additional legislative-history analysis for concluding that successfully completed deferred judgments in sexual-offense cases cannot be sealed. He reasoned that the statutory term "conviction" is ambiguous in this context and that the statutory amendments, read together, show a continuing legislative intent to exclude such records from sealing. Justice Marquez, dissenting, would have held that the statute does not include deferred judgments because the legislature removed that language and the court should not add it.
