When he entered a for-profit Colorado prison in July 2014, Dennis Choquette had a serious but treatable foot malady related to diabetes. But according to a lawsuit filed by his estate, his jailers repeatedly refused to address this problem as a way of saving money, thereby allowing his condition to deteriorate slowly and agonizingly over the course of more than a year.

Denver 420 Rally Cleanup Delayed by Knife-Wielding Man, Organizer Says

The morning after the 2017 version of the Denver 4/20 Rally, Civic Center Park was still a mess and angry residents were phoning local TV stations with complaints. But as noted by Miguel Lopez, wearing a yellow hoodie that accurately identified him as "Chief Event Organizer" for the rally, his permit allows him until noon the next day to fully clean up the area. Lopez was confident he'd still be able to make that deadline despite delays caused after the festival was over by a man with a knife who'd slashed open garbage bags and scattered trash that had already been collected.
