Opinion
Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED.
Whether People v. Manzo, 144 P.3d 551 (Colo. 2006), is no longer good law or distinguishable, and whether the court reversibly erred and violated Brown's right to due process because it allowed the jury to convict him of a class 3 felony for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death without the prosecution proving he acted with any culpable mental state.
Whether Colorado's habitual offender scheme is unconstitutional because it requires a judge-rather than a jury-make findings of fact that increase the sentence, and whether Brown's adjudication as a habitual offender must be vacated because he was deprived of his right to a jury trial.
DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
