Update: Last year, we reported about a lawsuit filed on behalf of Jennifer Lobato, a 37-year-old mother of seven who died in Jefferson County jail from opioid withdrawal. The document details the incidents of alleged neglect that led up to her death, with one jailer quoted as rejecting a plea for…
According to political analyst Eric Sondermann, who recently shared his predictions about the 2016 election in Colorado here, the U.S. Senate race between Democratic incumbent Michael Bennet and Republican standard-bearer Darryl Glenn isn’t truly competitive, and neither are the vast majority of contests in the state’s seven Congressional districts. The 3rd…
Tom Cruise’s $59 million Telluride mansion remains on sale two years after it was originally listed — a phenomenon that’s been repeated across the country for spectacular, star-owned properties. Note that Michael Jordan’s Chicago home has been on the market for four years-plus with no takers and Robin Williams’s Napa Valley…
There have been no shortage of lawsuits filed in Colorado of late that claim excessive police force, with most of them, including those put forward by the families of the late Ryan Ronquillo and Joseph Valverde, involving guns. In contrast, the complaint pressed by Jeffrey Tomlinson focuses on a different…
Again this year, Denver Film Festival artistic director Brit Withey is offering his must-see picks for each day of the fest — including many flicks that movie lovers might otherwise miss amid the flood of silver-screen goodies. Today he spotlights the opening-night feature, La La Land, and offers a preview…
In recent weeks, we’ve posted extensive interviews with proponents and opponents of major measures on the Colorado ballot this year, as well as a number of other races; well over a dozen links can be accessed below. And that coverage will keep coming right up until election day, which (blessedly)…
Denver finds itself on plenty of top-ten lists — registering first, for example, on the U.S. News & World Report roster of best places to live earlier this year. But its appearance on a new list from Orkin is unlikely to be touted in any Visit Denver brochures. The pest-control giant has just…
Update: Last month, we highlighted complaints about an Arizona campaign commercial opposing Proposition 205, a measure that would legalize limited recreational marijuana sales in that state; see our coverage below. The spot features two prominent former Colorado officials, ex-Governor Bill Owens and onetime Denver mayor Wellington Webb, delivering claims that vacillate between…
The competition between Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination was heated and emotional — and for some, it left bruises. After Clinton earned the Dems’ official blessing by way of a process that critics saw as heavily tilted in…
Two weeks ago, your Denver Broncos turned in a so pathetic a performance against the San Diego Chargers that fans on Twitter were ready to throw young quarterback Trevor Siemian under the nearest road grader. But it was a different story after yesterday’s 27-19 Denver win — a revenge game…
Update: We first reported about the arrest of William Amaya for the murder of his aunt and uncle in July 2014; our previous coverage has been incorporated into this post. It’s appropriate that we tell you about the resolution of the case on Halloween. The crime itself was horrifying, and Amaya…
Editor’s note: As part of our continuing election coverage, we’re taking a closer look at amendments and propositions that will be on the Colorado ballot in November. Yesterday, we posted “Why You Should Vote Yes on Prop. 107 and 108, About Primaries and the Caucus,” featuring an interview with a…
We recently offered mini-tours of the six most expensive homes for sale in Denver right now. Today, we flip that script. The least-expensive properties for sale on the MetroDenverHomeListings.com website at present are mostly one-bedroom condos in the 600-800 square foot range. All but two of them are available for under $100,000…
Editor’s note: As part of our continuing election coverage, we’re taking a closer look at amendments and propositions that will be on the Colorado ballot in November. Today we examine propositions 107 and 108 by way of an interview with a spokesman for the campaign. Tomorrow we’ll highlight a Q&A…
Two years ago this month, popular Denver radio personality Michael Floorwax formally announced that he wouldn’t be returning to Lewis & Floorwax, the 103.5 The Fox morning program on which he’d co-starred with Rick Lewis since July 1990. In a letter read by Lewis during an early October 2014 program,…
Update: Four years ago next month, thirteen-year-old Dylan Redwine disappeared in southwestern Colorado, where he’d traveled for a court-ordered visit with his father, Mark Redwine. His body was found in June 2013, and just over two years later, Mark was named a person-of-interest in the case, which was belatedly ruled…
In April, we told you about a proposal to place a tax on sugary drinks in Boulder. Supporters of the concept subsequently collected enough signatures to place what is now known as 2H on the Boulder ballot — and Angelique Espinoza, campaign manager for Healthy Boulder Kids, the organization pushing the…
Update: The prosecution of Air Force cadet Jack Warmolts for an alleged sexual assault in Boulder last year has been marked by controversy, including a judge’s decision to give the defense team the new address of the victim, who’d moved out of state after the incident; see our previous coverage below…
After the Broncos schooled former Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler by way of a 27-9 beatdown of his new team, the Houston Texans, on the October 24 edition of Monday Night Football, Twitter exploded with derision over the signal-caller’s flamboyant mediocrity, epitomized by what may be the first perfect-spiral fumble in NFL history…
Update: In May, as we reported at the time, social media busted Katrina Kennedy, also known as Katrina Kennedy-Flores, before the police did after a disturbing child-abuse video went viral. Our previous coverage has been incorporated into this post. Now, Kennedy has pleaded guilty in the matter, and while the count…
Editor’s note: As part of our continuing election coverage, we’re taking a closer look at amendments and propositions that will be on the Colorado ballot in November. Yesterday, we posted “Why You Should Vote Yes on Amendment 72 to Raise Tobacco Taxes,” featuring an interview with a proponent of the…
I’m not proud of it, but I have to admit: I’ve never wished more professional ill on a football player than I do on Brock Osweiler. Although Osweiler was erratic during his fill-in stints under center in Denver last year, the supposed heir apparent as Broncos quarterback did well enough to…
