Leo Phillips, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent.

Summary

The court held that Phillips failed to preserve his appellate arguments challenging the police-station statements and the handgun, but that his failures constituted forfeiture rather than waiver because the record did not show an intentional relinquishment of known rights. The court therefore reviewed the claims for plain error, concluding that the police-station statements were properly admitted and that the record did not establish plain error in admitting the handgun. The court affirmed the court of appeals' judgment on different grounds.
