The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner/cross-Respondent v. Amber Lee Torrez, Respondent — Marquez, J…

Summary

Justice Márquez dissented from the majority's interpretation of Colorado's presentence confinement credit statute. She would hold that credit is mandatory for each day of confinement caused in substantial part by the charge on which the defendant is sentenced, so long as the credit is not duplicative, and would award Torrez credit for her entire period of confinement. Justice Hood, joined by Justice Gabriel, similarly dissented, arguing that the majority adopted a novel and overly restrictive test inconsistent with the statute's text and prior precedent.
