The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner/Cross-Respondent v. Charles James Crabtree. Respondent/Cross-Petitioner
Court of Appeals Case No. 20CA629
Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED. Cross-Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED.
[REFRAMED] Whether the court of appeals erred in using a plain-error standard in light of Linnebur v. People, 2020 CO 79M, 476 P.3d 734.
Whether the court of appeals erred in holding that under plain error, it does not matter whether the law was settled at the time the error occurred, so long as the error is "obvious" at the time of appeal, in contravention of this court's holding in Scott v. People, 2017 CO 16.
DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
