Description
The prosecution sought to impeach the testimony of both defendants by introduction of evidence of prior convictions pursuant to 13-90-101, C.R.S. 1973. The "convictions" were based upon jury verdicts of guilty and the denial of motions for a new trial in the preceding separate trials of the defendants. In both cases, the defendants had not been sentenced. The defendants contend that this was reversible error under the rule announced in People v. Goff, 187 Colo. 57, 530 P.2d 512 (1974) (jury verdict which has not been tested by motion for new trial "and has not been supported by the imposition of sentence" cannot be used for impeachment purposes).
