Supreme Court of Colorado

The People of the State of Colorado v. Jorge Solis.

November 14, 20222022 CO 53

Summary

The court held that it had jurisdiction over the prosecution's interlocutory appeal and that the trial court abused its discretion by disqualifying the entire district attorney's office. A violation of the office's screening policy involving a different former client did not establish that Solis's confidential information had been disclosed or could not be adequately screened. The court therefore reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
