Colorado Judge Ousts DA’s Office over Discovery Violations, Trial Concerns
A Colorado judge has disqualified District Attorney Jeff Lindsey and the entire 11th Judicial District Attorney’s Office from an ongoing murder prosecution. The judicial action followed the court’s finding of an “egregious pattern of discovery violations and a lack of candor to the court,” leading to a determination that the accused could not receive a fair trial under the current prosecution. This decision also coincided with a reduction of first-degree murder charges in the case.
