The PEOPLE of the State of Colorado, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Edgar Lee DURRE, Defendant-Appellant.

Supreme Court of Colorado, En Banc.

May 21, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Duane Woodard, Atty. Gen., Charles B. Howe, Chief Deputy Atty. Gen., Richard H. Forman, Sol. Gen., John Daniel Dailey, First Asst. Atty. Gen., Denver, for plaintiff-appellee.

David F. Vela, Colorado State Public Defender, James England, Thomas M. Van Cleave, III, Deputy State Public Defenders, Denver, for defendant-appellant.


QUINN, Justice.

In this phase of a bifurcated appeal, we consider the single issue of whether special jury verdicts on aggravation and mitigation, which were returned at a sentencing hearing conducted pursuant to section 16-11-103, 8 C.R.S. (1973 & Supp.1983), after the jury had found the defendant guilty of first degree murder, satisfied the statutory requirement of unanimity so as to validate the sentence of death thereafter imposed by the trial court.
