Text: Â¶18Â Â Â Â Â Â Â This court may exercise its original jurisdiction under C.A.R. 21 to review a trial courtâs evidentiary rulings where the petitioning party has no other adequate appellate remedy. C.A.R. 21; see People v. Dist. Court, 869 P.2d 1281, 1285 (Colo. 1994). The granting of a remedy under C.A.R. 21 is entirely within the discretionary authority of this court. Dist. Court, 869 P.2d at 1285. Â¶19Â Â Â Â Â Â Â If the evidence challenged by the prosecution is improperly admitted on retrial, there may not be a remedy on appeal, as jeopardy will attach and the People cannotÂ retry the defendant if he is acquitted. As a result, we conclude that the People have no other adequate remedy and exercise of our original jurisdiction is appropriate. See id.; see also People v. Salazar, 2012 CO 20, Â¶ 13, 272 P.3d 1067, 1071. 4
