House Transfer Legal Implications

Summary

If a judge rules a house transfer legitimate, charges like theft or forgery may be difficult to pursue. However, new evidence or issues can change this. In Colorado, illegally obtained evidence is generally inadmissible, but exceptions exist. To challenge a biased judge, file a motion for recusal or appeal decisions. To challenge evidence admissibility, file a motion to suppress and request a hearing. If a previous attorney failed to argue a motion, you might appeal or request reconsideration before trial, citing ineffective assistance or conflict of interest.

Full Conversation

Two people were charged with theft of a house, and with forgery of a quit claim deed. A year after the charges were filed, a different judge ruled in favor of the house being legitimately transfered by the original homeowner to the two being charged with theft and forgery. Can they continue to be charged even though a different judge ruled in favor of the transfer?
If a different judge ruled that the transfer of the house was legitimate, it could significantly affect the theft and forgery charges. Generally, a ruling confirming the legality of the transfer would make it difficult to continue with those charges. However, the final decision would depend on the details of the case and whether new evidence or issues arise.
Are there any new developments or additional evidence in this case?
Only evidence that has been illegally obtained, although the judge is bias and allowing it into trial, so it's hard to say

Yes, one lawyer filed a motion to suppress the Google warrant, but at the hearing he didn't argue the motion. The client had to fire the attorney due to conflict of interest.
