Supreme Court of Colorado

v. People

May 18, 20202020 CO 40

Summary

The court held that a successfully completed deferred judgment does not count as a conviction under the eligibility bar for removing an individual from Colorado’s sex-offender registry. Because McCulley’s deferred judgment was completed, his guilty plea was withdrawn, and the charge was dismissed, he had only one conviction and was eligible to petition for deregistration. The court reversed the court of appeals and remanded for further proceedings.
