Supreme Court of Colorado
In Re: the People of the State of Colorado v. Robert S. Storlie
June 16, 2014327 P.3d 243
Summary
The court made its Rule 21 rule absolute and ordered dismissal of the criminal charges because the prosecution's request was a good-faith exercise of prosecutorial discretion based on its assessment that the available evidence was insufficient. The court did not decide whether the defendant independently had standing because the district attorney joined the request and had standing. The trial court abused its discretion by denying dismissal without evidence or findings of prosecutorial bad faith.
