Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED.

Whether the court of appeals reversibly erred in holding that the petitioner waived her right to challenge whether section 18-12-111(1), C.R.S. (2021) is unconstitutionally vague on its face and is unconstitutionally vague as applied to the petitioner when defense counsel "resisted the prosecutor's attempt to provide the jury with a definition of 'transfer.'"
[ADDITIONAL ISSUE] Whether section 18-12-111(1), C.R.S. (2021) is unconstitutionally vague as applied to the petitioner because it does not define "transfer."
DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
