Description
The defendant, Jay Hagan Williams, appeals his convictions on two counts of felony theft by receiving while engaged in the business of buying, selling, or otherwise disposing of stolen goods for a profit. Section 18-4-410, C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8). He claims that the Double Jeopardy Clauses of the United States and Colorado Constitutions barred his prosecution and conviction on these two counts because at a prior prosecution for the same statutory offense evidence of the transactions underlying his present convictions was admitted in order to prove that, when the principal charge of theft by receiving occurred, the defendant was engaged in the business of buying, selling or otherwise disposing of stolen goods for a profit. We agree with the defendant's claim and reverse his convictions.
