Description
We granted certiorari to review People v. Rhodus, 852 P.2d 1280 (Colo. App. 1992). In Rhodus, the court of appeals ordered a new trial because of the trial Judge's decision to deny defense counsel's challenge of a juror for cause. The question before us is whether a county official whose office, by statutory mandate, is represented by the prosecutor should be excluded from serving on a jury because the county official is implicitly biased.*fn1 We answer the question in the negative. Accordingly, we reverse and remand to the court of appeals with directions to reinstate the judgment of conviction and sentence imposed by the district court.
