History

ANNOTATION Despite defendant’s contention that unau- thorized persons were allowed in grand jury room and proceedings were not kept secret, the alleged violations did not affect defendant’s substantial rights. Petit jury’s subsequent guilty verdict made alleged error in grand jury pro- ceeding harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. People v. Cerrone, 867 P.2d 143 (Colo. App. 1993), aff’d on other grounds, 900 P.2d 45 (Colo. 1995).
