Supreme Court of Colorado

Zachary Eugene Babcock v. the People of the State of Colorado

May 27, 20252025 CO 26

Summary

The court affirmed the restitution order, holding that the statutory ninety-one-day deadline for determining restitution is directory rather than jurisdictional and therefore may be waived. It distinguished the court's prior restitution decision because defense counsel requested a hearing nearly six months after sentencing and did not insist on compliance with the deadline. The court further held that counsel's voluntary request for a hearing beyond the deadline impliedly waived the statutory right to a timely determination.
