2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 25 - Evidence- General Provisions|§ 13-25-139. Criminal Action - Interference With Witness - Forfeiture by Wrongdoing

 When a party to a criminal case wrongfully procures the unavailability of a witness, a statement otherwise not admissible pursuant to the Colorado rules of evidence that is offered against the party that was involved in or responsible for the wrongdoing that was intended to, and did, deprive the criminal justice system of evidence is admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule; except that such a statement is not admissible unless the proponent has given to the adverse party advance written notice of an intention to introduce the statement sufficient to provide the adverse party a fair opportunity to contest the admissibility of the statement. In determining the admissibility of the evidence, the court shall determine, prior to the trial, whether the forfeiture by wrongdoing occurred by a preponderance of the evidence.   History.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 26 - Uniform Photographic Records Act|§ 13-26-102. Business and Public Records as Evidence

 If any business, institution, or member of a profession or calling or any department or agency of government in the regular course of business or activity keeps or records any memorandum, writing, entry, print, or representation, or combination thereof, of any act, transaction, occurrence, or event and in the regular course of business has caused any of the same to be recorded, copied, or reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic, optical disk, or other form of mass storage, electronic imaging, electronic data processing, electronically transmitted facsimile, printout, or other reproduction of electronically stored data, or other process which accurately reproduces or forms a durable medium for reproducing the original, the original may be destroyed in the regular course of business unless held in a custodial or fiduciary capacity or unless its preservation is required by law. Such reproduction, when satisfactorily identified, is as admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding whether the original is in existence or not, and an enlargement or facsimile of such reproduction is likewise admissible in evidence if the original reproduction is in existence and available for inspection under direction of court. The introduction of a reproduced record, enlargement, or facsimile does not preclude admission of the original. This shall not be construed to exclude from evidence any document or copy thereof which is otherwise admissible under the rules of evidence.   History. Source: L. 55: P. 373, § 1. CRS 53: § 52-2-1.

 The records of the trust department of a bank or trust company are not such records as are excepted under the phrase “held in a custodial or fiduciary capacity” in section 13-26-102 . The originals of such trust records may be reproduced at any time and destroyed at any time, if done in good faith and without wrongful intent. Neither the manner in which an original is destroyed, whether voluntarily or by casualty or otherwise, nor the fact that it may have been destroyed while it was held in a custodial or fiduciary capacity shall affect the admissibility of a reproduction.

CO Code § 13-27-102 (2021)
2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 27 - Uniform Unsworn Declarations Act|§ 13-27-102. Definitions

 In this article 27:    “Boundaries of the United States” means the geographic boundaries of the United States, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, and any territory or insular possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.    “Law” includes the federal or a state constitution, a federal or state statute, a judicial decision or order, a rule of court, an executive order, and an administrative rule, regulation, or order.    “Record” means information that is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form.    “Sign” means, with present intent to authenticate or adopt a record:   To execute or adopt a tangible symbol; or    To attach to or logically associate with the record an electronic symbol, sound, or process.       “State” means a state of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the United States Virgin Islands, or any territory or insular possession subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.    “Sworn declaration” means a declaration in a signed record given under oath. The term includes a sworn statement, verification, certificate, and affidavit.    “Unsworn declaration” means a declaration in a signed record that is not given under oath, but is given under penalty of perjury.     History. Source: L. 2018: Entire article added with relocations,(SB 18-032), ch. 8, p. 154, § 9, effective October 1.    Editor's note:   This section is similar to former § 12-55-302 as it existed prior to 2018.   COMMENT   1. The definition of “law” is drafted in an open - ended manner to give it the widest possible application. The term is not ordinarily defined in uniform acts but in this context it is important that judges applying the act be in no doubt about its breadth. The wording is taken from the definition contained in the Revised Model State Administrative Procedure Act.   In most instances, “law” is referring to the law of the enacting state. Section 7 is the exception; in that section, “law” would address the general law on the subject of declarations because the provision encourages interpretation to achieve uniformity in the law.   2. A “record” includes information that is in intangible form (e.g., electronically stored) as well as tangible form (e.g., written on paper). It is consistent with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).   3. The definition of “sign” is broad enough to cover any writing containing a traditional signature and any record containing an electronic signature. It is consistent with the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 27 - Uniform Unsworn Declarations Act|§ 13-27-103. Applicability

 This article 27 applies to an unsworn declaration by a declarant who at the time of making the declaration is physically located within or outside the boundaries of the United States whether or not the location is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

Editor's note:   This section is similar to former § 12-55-303 as it existed prior to 2018.   COMMENT   This act applies to unsworn declarations made by a declarant regardless of where the declarant was located at the time of the declaration. The declaration could have been made within the United States whether within the enacting state or in a different state (even if the location is under the control of another sovereign, such as foreign embassies or consulates or federally recognized Indian lands), or in a foreign country.

Editor's note:   This section is similar to former § 12-55-306 as it existed prior to 2018.   COMMENT   The form informs the declarant that the declaration is made under penalty of perjury, thereby reminding the declarant of the potential liability it establishes. Section 3 of this act authorizes the use of unsworn declarations regardless of where the declaration was made. The form seeks the location of the declarant at the time of making the declaration which may be helpful for authentication purposes even though location does not affect admissibility.
