Colorado, __ U.S. __ (2017), the United States Supreme Court held that this article's requirement that a defendant prove his or her innocence by clear and convincing evidence to obtain a refund of costs, fees, and restitution paid pursuant to an invalid conviction does not comport with due process under the fourteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
