Description
The People filed this petition pursuant to C.A.R. 21, seeking relief in the nature of mandamus and a writ of prohibition against the respondent, Jefferson County District Court. The judge ordered the prosecution to reveal the identity of the confidential informant and ruled that if the prosecution failed to do so, the criminal charges against the defendant would be dismissed. The charges of second degree murder and felony child abuse resulting in death filed against the defendant, Milton Born-With-a-Tooth, arise from the alleged suffocation murder of his three and one-half year old son in a motel room in Lakewood, Colorado. When the prosecution failed to obtain the identity of the confidential informant from Canadian law enforcement authorities and disclose the informants identity to the defendant, the court ruled that it was going to dismiss the criminal charges if the prosecution did not discover and reveal the identity and whereabouts of the confidential informant within seven days. The People filed this petition the next day. We issued a rule to show cause why the court should not be prohibited from dismissing the criminal charges and why the order compelling disclosure of the informant should not be vacated. We now make the rule absolute.
