People v. Nunezgreen1 sentence2026See People v. Nunez, 841 P.2d 261, 265 (Colo. 1992) (“We have also held that it is not error for a judge to refuse a tendered jury instruction when that instruction is ‘encompassed’ or ‘embodied’ in the other instructions.” (collecting cases)). ¶ 33 More problematic, it essentially told the jury that it must be more skeptical of a hearsay declarant’s testimony because the declarant was not subject to cross-examination. | 1 | 1 |
People v. Coughlingreen1 sentence2024See People v. Coughlin, 304 P.3d 575, 586 (Colo. App. 2011) (holding that it was not error for a court not to give an instruction where a general credibility instruction was given and where neither party took advantage of the lack of instruction during their closing argument). ¶ 38 The combination of these factors convinces us that the admission of the previous convictions without a contemporaneous limiting instruction did not contribute to the jury’s decision to convict Sais of sexual assault and kidnapping. | 1 | 1 |
