STERNBERG, Judge.
This case concerns the classification of coroners' autopsy reports under Colorado's open records laws, and the issue of who should have the burden of proving whether disclosure of a particular autopsy report will be harmful to the public interest. We disagree with the trial court's conclusion that the reports were not public records and that the Criminal Justice Records Act controls. Therefore, we reverse.
