• holding that res gestae evidence can be admitted without a limiting instruction
• affirming a trial court’s imposition of a statutory surcharge where defendant was indigent and there was no “due date” for payment
• “We do not reweigh the evidence or assess witnesses’ credibility on appeal because the jury is the sole judge of witness credibility.”

• “Relevant evidence is inherently prejudicial; but it is only unfair prejudice, substantially outweighing probative value, which permits exclusion of relevant matter under Rule 403.” (quoting Masters v. People, 58 P.3d 979, 1001 (Colo. 2002))
