Description
The defendant, Kevin Alexander, appeals his conviction for violating section 18-5-302(2), C.R.S. 1973 (1978 Repl. Vol. 8), which prohibits a person from knowingly making "a false representation as to the existence of an ownership interest in land which he has as a seller... and which is relied upon." The jury found the defendant guilty of this class 5 felony on the basis of his statement to a prospective purchaser that he "owned" a parcel of land when in reality he had merely contracted to purchase the land and had not yet acquired title. The defendant's major arguments are that section 18-5-302(2) is unconstitutionally vague, that there was insufficient evidence to submit the charge to the jury, and that the jury instructions were inadequate. We affirm the judgment.
