Colorado Code § 16-7-102

Required notice of defense of alibi
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If the defendant intends to introduce
evidence that the defendant was at a place other than the location of the offense, the defendant
shall serve upon the prosecuting attorney as soon as practicable, but not later than thirty-five
days before trial, a statement in writing specifying the place where the defendant claims to have
been and the names and addresses of the witnesses the defendant will call to support the defense
of alibi. Upon receiving the defendant's statement, the prosecuting attorney shall advise the
defendant of the names and addresses of any additional witnesses who may be called to refute
such alibi as soon as practicable after the names of such witnesses become known. Neither the
prosecuting attorney nor the defendant shall be permitted at the trial to introduce evidence
inconsistent with the specification statement unless the court for good cause and upon just terms
permits the specification statement to be amended. If the defendant fails to make the
specification required by this section, the court shall exclude evidence offered in support of the
defense of alibi unless the court finds upon good cause shown that such evidence should be
admitted in the interest of justice.
