Robert Hull Marko v. the People of the State of Colorado

Summary

The court affirmed Marko's convictions, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying his challenge for cause to a prospective juror who initially expressed skepticism about the insanity defense because the juror was sufficiently rehabilitated during voir dire. The court also held that Marko was not in custody during the pre-advisement portion of his interview with civilian police, so his statements were properly admitted. The court therefore did not reach the retroactivity question concerning the applicable juror-challenge precedent.
