P-69 (2012-06-27) PROSECUTIONS MOTION IN LIMINE TO EXCLUDE USE OF BIBLICAL PARABLES AND RELIGION-BASED THEOLOGICAL APPEALS CAROL A. CHAMBERS, District Attorney for the Eighteenth Judicial District, State of Colorado, by her undersigned Deputy, requests that the Court to enter an order prohibiting People v. Montour 02CR782 1 of2 P-69 (20 12-06-27)

counsel from injecting Biblical references, appeals, or arguments at any stage of trial or sentencing hearing. It is inappropriate for defense counsel(s) to make Biblical references, appeals, or arguments to the jury to spare the defendants life so that he can be redeemed by God, during any stage of a sentencing hearing. In an abundance of caution, and to avoid the possible necessity of interrupting closing argument with objections, the People request the court to enter an order prohibiting counsel from making reference to, appeals, or arguments to the jury based upon Biblical references. Respectfully submitted, CAROL CHAMBEWS District Attorney, by
