Description
MR. CHIEF JUSTICE QUINN delivered the Opinion of the Court. We granted certiorari to review the decision of the court of appeals in People v. Carlson, 677 P.2d 390 (Colo. App. 1983), which reversed the conviction of the defendant, Beverly Carlson, for first degree arson. § 18-4-102, 8 C.R.S. (1978). The court of appeals held that the trial court committed reversible error in permitting a claims manager of an insurance company to testify that the company had denied the defendant's claim for fire loss to her business because the company believed it had a provable arson defense to the claim. We conclude that this evidence should have been excluded as irrelevant and that the error in admitting this improper evidence was not harmless. We accordingly affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.
