Description
We granted certiorari to review People v. Vega, 870 P.2d 549 (Colo. App. 1993).*fn1 In Vega, the court of appeals affirmed a judgment of conviction entered upon a jury verdict finding the petitioner, Juan Cruz Vega (Vega), guilty of possession with intent to distribute more than 28 grams of cocaine*fn2 and guilty as a special offender for introducing, distributing or importing a controlled substance into Colorado.*fn3 Vega asserts that the trial court denied him due process of law and the right to trial by jury in disallowing his affirmative defense to the special offender charge. He also contends that the trial court committed reversible error in excluding evidence of internal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) incentives for conviction of drug offenders.*fn4 We disagree and affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
