The People of the State of Colorado, Petitioner v. David K. Willis, Respondent


Court of Appeals Case No. 18CA376

Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED.

CHIEF JUSTICE BOATRIGHT would grant as to the following issue:

Whether the court of appeals significantly departed from this court's most recent unanimity and plain error precedents by concluding that the trial court obviously erred by giving the jury the model unanimity instruction, which instructs it to agree to "all parts" of the verdict, and concluding that the error was substantial because it was "impossible to be reasonably certain of the reliability of the judgment of conviction."
