Description

The Jefferson County Court found the defendant, James R. Dover, not guilty of speeding in violation of section 42-4-1001(1), 17 C.R.S. (1989 Supp.). The county court found that the prosecution proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was driving eighty miles per hour in a fifty-five mile per hour zone. However, the county court also found that the defendant, who is a lawyer, was not guilty on the grounds that his speeding violation was justified because he was late for a court hearing in Denver as a result of a late hearing in Summit County. See § 42-4-1001(8) (a), 17 C.R.S. (1989 Supp.). The district court, on appeal, found that the record supported the order of the county court and affirmed the finding of the county court that an emergency justified the speeding violation. We granted certiorari and, since jeopardy has attached, reverse the district court and disapprove the ruling of the county court finding that an emergency justified the defendants violation of section 42-4-1001(1).
