Supreme Court of Colorado

Matthew J. Zoll, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent.

September 10, 2018425 P.3d 1120

Summary

The court held that when an appellate court determines that a trial court improperly withheld documents discovered through in camera review, it must remand for disclosure and allow the defendant to show a reasonable probability of prejudice. The court also held that any error in replaying the recording during deliberations outside Zoll's presence was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, without deciding whether the replay constituted a critical stage. The judgment was reversed in part, affirmed in part on different grounds, and remanded.
