People v. Chapman.
2025 CO 19. No. 25SA114. Disqualification of Chief Prosecutor or of Office Itself—Discretion of Lower Court—Right of Prosecution to Review.
May 12, 2025
The supreme court held that the district court erred in granting Chapman’s Motion for Appointment of Special Prosecutor pursuant to CRS § 20-1-107(2). Because Chapman failed to present evidence of special circumstances that would justify disqualification of the entire Eighth Judicial District Attorney’s Office, the court reversed the district court’s order.
