Description

Following this affirmance, the petitioner filed a Crim. P. 35(a) motion to reduce the sentence imposed on the ground that he had medical and psychological problems which would endanger his life if he were imprisoned. The trial court denied the motion after a full hearing. The petitioner then appealed the denial of the 35(a) motion, and the court of appeals affirmed in People v. McKnight, 41 Colo. App. 372, 588 P.2d 886 (1978). We granted certiorari to review the issues presented and to clarify the law regarding the jurisdiction of the court of appeals when a defendant seeks to appeal a denial of a 35(a) motion.
