Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. Kenneth Leon Childress, Respondent — Rice, J., Concurring

November 23, 2015363 P.3d 155

Summary

The concurring opinion agrees that a defendant may be held liable as a complicitor for a strict-liability offense but would resolve the issue by applying the existing approach for complicity in negligent crimes. It would not broadly reinterpret or abrogate the precedent governing complicity in intentional crimes, because that issue was unnecessary to decide this case. The concurrence therefore joins only the judgment and not the majority's broader reasoning.
