Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc
December 23, 2024
Court of Appeals Case No. 21CA1144
Petition and Cross-Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED.
Whether the court of appeals improperly held that Colorado's equal protection doctrine was plainly violated by respondent's conviction for attempted patronizing a prostituted child because it prohibited the same conduct as attempted inducement of child prostitution.
Whether the trial court reversibly erred by failing to instruct the jury on a required mental state for the crime of soliciting for child prostitution, and whether the required mental state for soliciting for child prostitution is intentionally.
DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
