Tyler N. Lepage v. the People of the State of Colorado

Summary

The court held that LePage failed to overcome the presumption of regularity because the trial judge read the correct elemental instructions and verdict forms to the jury, while the contrary inference arose only from the arrangement of the certified record and ambiguous transcript statements. The court therefore affirmed the judgment on grounds different from those relied upon by the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
