Description

The defendant, Daniel Patrick Collins, was tried by a jury and found guilty of the felony offenses of second-degree kidnapping, first-degree assault, and second-degree assault. Each of the first two crimes was also determined to be a crime of violence. At trial, the defendant raised the affirmative defense of impaired mental condition to each of the substantive charges. He now appeals his convictions, asserting that section 18-1-803(3), 8B C.R.S. (1986), which specifies the procedure for submitting the defense of impaired mental condition to the jury, violates due process of law in that it does not require that the jury consider the defense of impaired mental condition separately with respect to each substantive offense. We hold that the statute does not prohibit the jury from considering the affirmative defense of impaired mental condition individually with respect to each charge and that the instructions in this case properly required such individual consideration. Therefore, we reject the defendants challenge to the constitutional sufficiency of section 18-1-803(3) and to the manner in which it was applied in this case, and we affirm the convictions.
