Supreme Court of Colorado

In Interest of G.S.S

May 4, 20202020 CO 32

Summary

The court held that the statutory sixty-day requirement for trying a detained juvenile after bail is denied, revoked, or increased is ambiguous because it does not identify the protected right or specify a remedy. Interpreting the provision as part of the juvenile bail scheme, the court held that a violation requires an immediate bail hearing and release, not dismissal with prejudice. The court reversed and remanded for reinstatement of the delinquency petition and further proceedings.
