Supreme Court of Colorado
James Jud Bondsteel, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent.
April 22, 2019439 P.3d 847
Summary
The court held that a defendant need not renew at trial a pretrial objection to joinder to preserve the issue for appellate review, because the current criminal rules eliminated the historical renewal requirement. It further held that the two cases were properly joined because they involved offenses of the same or similar character, satisfied the applicable joinder rules, and caused no actual prejudice. The judgment was affirmed.
