Jason P. Brown v. the People of the State of Colorado.

Summary

The court affirmed Brown's convictions for leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and serious bodily injury, holding that those offenses remain strict-liability crimes requiring no culpable mental state. It also held that the prior habitual-offender statute was not facially unconstitutional and that the trial court's failure to submit predicate facts to the jury was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.
