That's the end of the Rape Shield Law in Colorado. No one will ever trust it again.

Good. Rape shield laws are unconstitutional on their face. Rape is a horrible crime but every defendant has the right to face their accuser.

It is not the end of rape shield laws anywhere. It is the beginning of the end of the misuse of those laws to prevent the defense from using reasonable exculpatory evidence.
