	No. 01CA2514. People v. Garcia, Jr. - August 14, 2003 - Colorado Court of Appeals Opinions
		The prosecutor moved to exclude the expert’s testimony on the ground that it was a "temporary insanity defense." The court ruled that it was admissible only under a theory of impaired mental condition or insanity and that, in accordance with § 16-8-101.5, C.R.S. 2002, defendant was required to plead the defense of insanity.
		A defense based upon mental defect or insanity must be affirmatively pleaded at arraignment, in part because it sets in motion a specific process by which the defendant is professionally evaluated.
		The parties should be free to argue evidence to allow the trier of fact to determine whether defendant was suffering from a hypoglycemic condition, whether that condition impaired his ability to conform his conduct, and whether the circumstances show that this condition was voluntarily induced.

		We are recommending that the Secretary of Defense direct the service secretaries to reassess the funding priorities the services have attached to sustaining and improving the condition of their facilities relative to other needs and funding limitations.
		Defense installation officials referred to the services’ out-year funding plans as “hockey sticks” because of their abrupt increases in funding in the out-years, indicating skepticism about the likelihood that the services would be able to achieve such rapid increases.

		The defense expert opines that in order to determine the range of positions the shooter, Officer Chacon, was in at the time of discharging his weapon, he would need to examine the hubcap and the wheel for strike marks.
		Previously, in its June 17, 1998 memorandum to the government, the defense informed the government that if the car was lost and the defense could not inspect it, or the car if produced was not its original condition, the defense planned on seeking available remedies, including but not limited to a motion to dismiss.
		The defense cannot say with certainty that the discharged bullet left a strike mark on the wheel, but it is quite probable that it would have based on the hole in the hubcap.

	State v. Huskey
		Judge Jenkins later ruled that because of the refusal to be examined, the defense could not rely on an insanity defense or introduce expert testimony as to a mental condition in one of the non-capital cases, case number 49828, which was finally tried in October of 1995.
		Because neither the defense nor the State sought a stay of the proceedings while the appeal was being sought, however, further events and hearings continued to unfold in the trial court.
		On October 28, 1996, the trial court ruled that the defense had 48 hours in which to elect to proceed with a mental responsibility defense, after which the materials stemming from the examination would be disclosed to the State.

	Crazy Not to Plead Insanity

		Defense attorneys believe that insanity is the only possible defense to the charges against their clients (especially in the case of very serious charges).

		Measures of bivalve mollusk defense activities, such as hemocyte density, phagocytic activity, locomotion and production of cytotoxic molecules, and hemolymph constituents, such as agglutinins and lysozyme, have potential as indicators and appear to be responsive to xenobiotic chemical insults in the aquatic environment.
		In addition, variation in defense activities caused by seasonal temperature and reproductive cycling, salinity changes, nutritional status, diseases and parasites, and genetic stocks is high and may limit applicability of bivalve defense-related measurements as indicators.
		Potential associations between oyster defense characteristics and accumulated chemical contaminants, either singly or in chemical classes, were explored using correlation analysis and a composited ranking procedure.

		If Crown had attempted to amend its answer to raise the defense, the discretion of the trial court would have been invoked, and the burden would have been upon Bechtel to show that such amendment would cause actual prejudice or undue delay.

		The Superior Court of Pennsylvania recently affirmed the defense verdict obtained at trial by DRI member James W. Scott, Jr.
		The defense also cited plaintiff’s own testimony where she admitted that she did not see the fl ice prior to falling because it was “invisible.” Consequently, the defense argued that it could not be responsible for rectifying a condition that plaintiff herself was unaware of moments before her fall.
		The court also rejected plaintiff’s attempt to recover against Hepp’s, holding that plaintiff had a full and fair opportunity to litigate her claim against the actual proprietor of the laundromat, and that her claim amounted to “no more than a plea for a second bite at the apple.” Nice job, defense.

		If the apartment was not in good condition when you rented it or bad conditions occurred while you lived there, the landlord has "breached the warranty of habitability".
		That means that when bad conditions occur, you or a governmental agency must have told the landlord about the conditions so that he had an opportunity to fix them.
		Because our lawmakers believed that each unit rented should be in good condition, the defense of breach of warranty of habitability can never be given up by the tenant.
