Court of Appeals Case No. 18CA1747

Petition for Writ of Certiorari DENIED.

JUSTICE GABRIEL and JUSTICE HART would grant as to the following issue:

Whether the division erred in holding that "strangulation generally describes both the conduct perpetrated by defendant and the injury suffered by the victim," such that strangulation alone is a "serious bodily injury" under the first-degree assault, section 18-3-202(1)(c), C.R.S. (2022), and crime of violence statutes, section 18-1.3-406 (2) (a)(1)(B), C.R.S. (2022).
