Stalking Crimes Defense
Under Colorado law, felony stalking requires a credible threat and repeated behavior that reasonably causes someone to be afraid or suffer serious emotional distress. Stalking is classified as an “extraordinary risk” crime that carries 1-5 years in prison, up to a $100,000 fine, and a mandatory 2 years of parole for a first offense. For a second offense, or if you stalked in violation of a protection order, the offense carries 2-10 years in prison, up to a $500,000 fine, and a mandatory 3 years of parole.
Colorado’s stalking law, also known as Vonnie’s Law, was revised in 2012 after a defendant arrested for stalking was released on bail before seeing a judge. Weeks later the defendant shot and killed his stalking victim. As a result, those arrested for stalking cannot be released on bail until they appear before a judge. The intent of the new legislation to ensure the defendant is formally advised of the protective order.
The attorneys at Weber Law have the knowledge and experience to handle your stalking case with extreme care. We understand the intricacies of Colorado’s stalking law and can implement the most effective plan to win your case. The language of the statute and the legal definitions require an experienced defense attorney. While Colorado implements harsh penalties for a stalking conviction, the elements of the crime are strict and difficult for the prosecution to prove when a skilled defense attorney is representing you. Your attorney at Weber Law may raise the following defenses, depending on the unique facts of your case.
- Your intent can’t be proven because the victim or witness misunderstood your intentions
- The alleged victim never suffered any emotional distress
- There was repeated contact but there is no link between your contact and the alleged threat
- There was no repeated contact, you only contacted the alleged victim once
- You never threatened anyone
- The victim’s perception of the threat was not reasonable
