Supreme Court of Colorado

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Kelley
The defendant, William Douglas Edward Cardwell, and one Jerry Stilley were charged by information with (1) Escape in violation of C.R.S. 1963, 40-7-53, and (2) Kidnapping in violation of C.R.S. 1963, 40-2-44. Both were tried and found guilty. The district attorney moved to dismiss the escape count, which the court granted. They were sentenced and brought this appeal. Pending this appeal, Stilley died and, as to him, the issues raised are moot.
Five issues are raised challenging the validity of the conviction. Having reviewed each of them and finding them to be without merit, we affirm.
