Description
We granted certiorari to review the decision of the court of appeals in People v. Chambers, No. 80CA0905 (Colo. App. March 25, 1982). After a jury trial in Jefferson County District Court, the defendant, Michael Darnell Chambers, was convicted of attempted first degree murder, first degree assault, first degree sexual assault, second degree kidnapping,*fn4 and three counts of crime of violence.*fn5 The Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed the convictions. On certiorari review, the defendant cites as error the failure of the jury instructions to specify a culpable mental state for the crime of kidnapping, the failure of the jury instructions to define the mental state "knowingly" in sufficient detail, and the refusal of the trial court to suppress evidence not made available to the defense until the time of trial. We reverse the second degree kidnapping conviction and affirm the judgment of the court of appeals in all other respects.
