People v. Delci

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• vacating the multiplicitous conviction that provides a less severe penalty
• “Because the predicate offense charged here was assault, proof of the elements of burglary requires proof of the elements of assault. Thus, assault is a lesser included offense of first degree burglary, and the two counts merge.”
• “[W]hen multiple convictions are given and one must be vacated, the trial court should select as many convictions and impose the longest sentences that are legally possible fully to effectuate the jury’s verdict.” (citing People v. Glover, 893 P.2d 1311, 1314 (Colo. 1995))
