Supreme Court of Colorado

Vanessa Ann Zubiate, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent

February 27, 2017390 P.3d 394

Summary

The court held that Zubiate could raise her unpreserved double-jeopardy claim for the first time on appeal, and that plain-error review ordinarily applies. It further held that driving under revocation is not a lesser included offense of aggravated driving after revocation prohibited because the former requires proof of a broader vehicle category. The court therefore affirmed the court of appeals; Justice Coats, joined by Justices Eid and Boatright, concurred in the judgment but rejected the majority’s lesser-included-offense test.
