2016See Lefebre, 5 P.3d at 304 (holding that defendant "suffered a Fourteenth Amendment due process violation" where the court denied him "parity with the prosecution in the exercise of peremptory challenges"); Macrander, 828 P.2d at 238 (noting that "[a] fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process" and "the right to challenge a juror for cause has been recognized as an integral part of a fair trial"); see also Novotny, I 19, 320 P.8d at 1200 CTWle have, in the past. ... merely categorized the affected right as ‘substantial’ based on the significance of the right itself."

2019See, e.g., Novotny, ¶ 22, 320 P.3d at 1201 (“Whether or not the Fourteenth Amendment due process violation we mistakenly identified in Lefebre could have itself catapulted impairment of a defendant’s ability to shape the jury into this limited class of fundamental constitutional errors, the Supreme Court has since made abundantly clear that no such due process protection exists for state-granted peremptory challenges.”). ¶34 Thus, from my perspective, Novotny did more than foreshadow today’s holding.

2016See Lefebre, 5 P.3d at 304 (holding that defendant “suffered a Fourteenth Amendment due process violation” where the court denied him “parity with the prosecution in the exercise of peremptory challenges”); Macrander, 828 P.2d at 238 (noting that “[a] fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic requirement of due process” and “the right to challenge a juror for cause has been recognized as an integral part of a fair trial”); see also Novotny, ¶ 19, 320 P.3d at 1200 (“[W]e have, in the past . . . merely categorized the affected right as ‘substantial’ based on the significance of the right itself.”

2016Continuing to emphasize the constitutional dimensions of the case, we concluded that such impairment of the defendant’s ability to shape the jury caused him to “suffer[] a Fourteenth Amendment due process violation” and thus violated “substantial rights.” Id. at 304, 308.

1989We do not view this cryptic comment as constituting an appeal of the trial court's dismissal of any claims arguably based solely on alleged violations of rights protected by Colorado's Constitution. [7] Prior to the decision in Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. at 1, 105 S.Ct. at 1694 , most courts adopted a fourteenth amendment due process analysis to address excessive force claims actions arising under § 1983.

2014We made clear, however, our understanding that, as the appellate review of a federal conviction, Martinez-Salazar left untouched the Court's earlier suggestion in Ross v. Oklohoma, 487 U.S. 81, 89 , 108 S.Ct. 2273 , 101 L.Ed.2d 80 (1988), to the effect that "a defendant does suffer a Fourteenth Amendment due process violation if the trial court's actions deprive him of that to which he is entitled by state law regarding use of peremptory challenges."
