Crim. P. 30 provides, “[a]ll instructions offered by the parties, or given by court, shall be filed with the clerk and, with the endorsement thereon indicating the action of the court, shall be taken as a part of the record of the case.” If portions of the record are missing, the aggrieved party may request that the district court reconstruct the record. C.A.R. 10(e). The court may then hold a hearing, giving both parties the opportunity to address the proposed reconstruction. People v. Jackson, 98 P.3d 940, 942-43 (Colo. App. 2004). If the district court reconstructs the record, and the record as a whole supports that reconstruction, there is no reversible error. People v. Brewster, 240 P.3d 291, 296 (Colo. App. 2009). Even if the district court is unable to reconstruct the record, loss of a portion of the trial record does not automatically require reversal. Jackson, 98 P.3d at 942. To obtain relief, a defendant must demonstrate specific prejudice resulting from the state of the record. Hoang v. People, 2014 CO 27, ¶ 39. And, if the court’s findings at the reconstruction hearing, together with the record as a whole, are sufficiently reliable to permit us to conduct an intelligent review of the defendant’s contentions, reversal is not required. Id.; People v. Ellis, 148 P.3d 205, 207-08 (Colo. App. 2006). Our review of the record regarding the court’s reconstruction efforts and Garrison’s alleged prejudice involve mixed questions of law and fact. We review the legal issues de novo, Hoang, ¶ 38, and defer to the court’s factual findings if they are adequately supported by the record, Dunlap v. People, 173 P.3d 1054, 1063 (Colo. 2007). Defendants have a right to appeal, Colo. Const., art VI, { 2; { 16-12-101, 8A C.R.S. (1986); Almarez v. Carpenter, 477 P.2d 792, 795 (Colo. 1970), and the right to a complete record on appeal. See Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12 (1956); Almarez v. Carpenter, 477 P.2d 792, 795 (Colo. 1970). If the trail court improperly denies a request for recording of the proceedings, the appellant still has a duty to reconstruct the record. Haliburton v. Public Service 804 P.2d 213, 217 (Colo. App. 1990). Under CAR 10 (c) and (e), the appellant must prepare a statement from his recollection and submit it to the court for approval. Halliburton, 804 P.2d at 217. If the requested record cannot be obtained or precisely reconstructed under C.A.R. 10(c), Mr. Palmer's conviction must be reversed on appeal. People v. Killpack, 793 P.2d 642 (Colo. App. 1990). If a record is missing, an appellant is required to take the needed steps to provide an adequate record or he may not assert that the missing transcript is reversible error on appeal. Halliburton, 804 P.2d at 218; Conley, 804 P.2d at 243; see Till v. People, 196 Colo. 126, 581 P.2d 299 (1978) (appellant cannot take advantage of missing record on appeal where he failed to designate). People v. Velarde, supra. THERE MAY ALSO BE A CASE CALLED HAWKINS (?) ON THE ISSUE. Defendants have the right to a complete record on appeal. See Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12 (1956). This includes indigents as a matter of equal protection. See Krutka v. Spinuzzi, 153 Colo. 115, 384 P.2d 928, 931-32 (1963) (check) When a Defendant makes a colorable claim for need of a transcript, the burden shifts to the DA to show that an alternative would do. See Mayer v. Chicago, 404 U.S. 189, 195 (1971).(check) Burden is by a preponderance of the evidence to reconstruct the record. Based on this testimony and the arguments and evidence presented by the parties, the postconviction court concluded, “[T]he Court cannot find by a preponderance that the record should be reconstructed to reflect that [Johnson] tendered” the instructions presented by Garrison’s postconviction counsel. Our review of the record — including Johnson’s clear testimony that he did not recall tendering the proposed selfdefense instructions and the fact that no testimony was presented to demonstrate otherwise — supports the court’s determination. See Dunlap, 173 P.3d at 1063.
