Supreme Court of Colorado

In Re the People of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff v. Brandon D. Brown, Defendant. — Gabriel, J., Concurring

June 10, 2019442 P.3d 428

Summary

Justice Gabriel joins the majority because applicable law compels its conclusion that presenting statutorily required evidence at a reverse-transfer hearing may waive privilege. The concurrence warns that this result could deter juveniles charged as adults from seeking reverse transfer, even when juvenile-court proceedings would better serve the juvenile and community, and urges legislative clarification.
