“Bedtime Story,” Joel Warner, April 7 Gone, Baby, Gone As a “former victim” of abuse, I believe Molly Midyette’s story, even if it doesn’t jibe with her first weeks after being convicted. I remember still having “love” and “loyalty” for my abusive husband and having other women I mentored and…

It would seem like a death wish to hope to play the two-time defending NBA champions in the first round of the playoffs. But given recent play, are the Lakers now the most desirable first-round opponent for the Nuggets? Probably not, but it’s at least a question worth asking…
The first line of Carol Boigon’s new ad is this: “Whether you support medical marijuana or not, putting dispensaries everywhere is not a jobs plan.” Why did the mayoral hopeful, whose slogan is “Boigon Means Business,” mention pot? “There’s a number of my colleagues on the council — and one…
Tomorrow, Vally Dikovitskaya and seven other members of the Boulder Youth Body Alliance (BYBA), a program dedicated to helping teens with body image concerns and eating disorders, will be in Washington, D.C.

Check out Fort Collins Music Experiment 2011, the Arcade Fire at 1STBANK Center, the weirdest crime stories of March and more…
Pop trollop Jessica Simpson may not have really hexed Dallas quarterback Tony Romo when the two were an item. But with Troy Tulowitzki just shaking off the curse of Katy Perry, we still have reason to worry about any connection to J-Simp, who’ll reportedly make an appearance at Coors Field…
At around the same time the Denver Police Department released the list of its 25 most violent fugitives, the coroner’s office for the city issued its report about homicides in the first quarter, which totaled eight. The number is the same as during the first three months of 2010 –…
Update: Finally, the Crystal fire in Larimer County is just about spent. According to the most recent feds’ latest report, the containment level is at 95 percent, with some crews moving on and those that remain concentrating on mop-up. More good news: the number of homes destroyed by the blaze…
The Denver Police Department has trimmed its fifty most wanted fugitives list by half but multiplied the mayhem via its roster of the city’s 25 most violent fugitives. The mug shots of those who follow first target Robert Juan Gee stand out thanks to the best neck tattoo (No. 3),…
After a week, I finally got the results from my blood test last Friday — and unfortunately, the lab didn’t give me the information I’d asked for. Fortunately, the state senate’s judiciary committee just pushed back discussion of HB1261, also known as the marijuana DUI bill, by a week. According…
In July 2008, eighteen-year-old Angie Zapata of Greeley was beaten to death by a 32-year-old man she met online. In April 2009, a jury found that man guilty of murder. What’s more, they convicted him of a hate crime, finding that he had killed Angie because she was transgender. Tomorrow,…
Doug Linkhart is definitely the most openly pro-medical marijuana of the candidates for mayor. Hence, his endorsement by the Teapot Party and embrace by local MMJ businesses.

Douglas Bruce has made no shortage of enemies over the years — and plenty of them are likely grinning at the sight of his mug shot, released in conjunction with word that he’s been indicted for failing to pay taxes he earned in 2005-2007. His alleged method of evasion? Funneling…
It’s your week-capping array of Denver blog posts. Tim Tebow failed to make the cut for the cover of Madden NFL ’12, and Predominantly Orange’s Dustin Davis is okay with that. Simpsons fans: Which legislators does Colorado Pols dub the Dr. Nick and Cletus of the state when it comes…
Troy Tulowitzki isn’t known for his Aprils. Or rather, he is known for his Aprils. He’s known for sucking in them. Over the past few years, the Colorado Rockies’ $134 million Gold Glove-winning All-Star shortstop has looked like a Little Leaguer through the first month of the season — a…
In all likelihood, Tuesday’s Nuggets-Thunder slugfest was a playoff preview, since Oklahoma City’s currently in the fourth position in the west and Denver’s ensconced in the fifth. But OKC’s only one game behind the Dallas Mavericks for the third slot, and the Nuggets, who just beat the Mavs at home,…
This week, Grand Junction and Castle Rock banned retail sales of medical marijuana, joining Loveland and many other Colorado municipalities that have enacted similar prohibitions.
