Jeffrey v. District Court

In this original proceeding under C.A.R. 21, petitioner Ralph Jeffrey (petitioner) seeks relief in the nature of prohibition in connection with criminal charges of first degree criminal trespass, section 18-4-502, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8), and conspiracy to commit that crime, sections 18-2-201 and 18-4-502, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8), presently pending against him in the district court of Larimer County. Petitioner claims that the prosecution of these charges is barred by the compulsory joinder provisions of section 18-1-408(2), C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8). We issued a rule to show cause and we now make the rule absolute.
