In December 2013, we reported about the ACLU of Colorado's efforts to target cities that jail people too poor to pay fines — a tactic that legal director Mark Silverstein likened to the much-reviled and supposedly antiquated concept of debtors prisons. More than two years later, the ACLU of Colorado has...
The phrase "justice delayed is justice denied" doesn't quite fit cold cases. In such instances, convictions of guilty parties are always preferable to situations in which offenders are never punished for their illegal actions. But the story of one woman's abuse at the hands of Warren Foster represents a close...
We're so accustomed to Denver landing on positive lists — just last month, U.S. News & World Report named the Mile High City the best place to live in the country — that when our home registers poorly, it comes across as a shock. That's certainly the case with the...
Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey has faced criticism for his regular decisions not to criminally charge police in officer-involved shootings. The latest example: Morrissey has deemed the killing of car thief Chan Lieth this past December as justified even though the officers involved — Teresa Fields and Josh Stuteville —...
Not so many years ago, Jamie Hince, guitarist and electronics-and-production wizard for the Kills, might have had to give up playing guitar completely.

As Winston Churchill probably said, "Plan ahead, dingus." I like to do my research on the happy hours I hit up, but I was drawn to Milk & Honey Bar-Kitchen despite my lack of happy hour recon or recent scuttlebutt from friends. The subterranean Larimer Square eatery certainly has never...
Dead & Company are returning to Colorado this summer with a special performance at Folsom Field in Boulder, but any time is ripe for fans of the Grateful Dead to eat up the band's music and history. To answer that call is Buzz Poole's examination of the Grateful Dead’s Workingman’s Dead. ...
NPR's Tiny Desk Contest just finished its second year, and once again a Colorado band did not win. However, there were over a hundred entries from our talented state, and out of those, a single video caught the attention of Bob Boilen and compay: Rossonian's "Love In A Wasteland." "I...
One of the most controversial Colorado stories of 2015 involved a sexting scandal at Canon City High School in which more than 100 students were implicated. At first, authorities hinted that those involved might be prosecuted — but in the end, no criminal charges were pressed. In contrast, Aaron Belanger is...
The Denver District Attorney's Office has formally charged Brett Sisman with sexually assaulting a woman he met using the dating app Tinder. The incident allegedly caused so many injuries to the victim that they were documented by as many as one-hundred photos. This is the second time in just over...
Earlier this month, we told you about a provision hidden within the so-called Sunset bill that, in practical terms, would let marijuana tourists purchase four times as much cannabis during a single purchase than is currently allowable under Colorado law. That legislation, known as House Bill 16-1261, has now passed both houses...

Amendment 139, a proposal that's seeking a spot on the November ballot, is getting attention primarily for a section that would limit the potency of marijuana products to 16 percent THC — a reduction for a huge number of currently available items. But that's not all the measure would do...
Leaders representing Denver’s short-term rental industry who feel that their concerns have gone unheard held a roundtable discussion Wednesday morning to present new data and discuss a Denver City Council proposal that they say would significantly constrain STR owners, especially those renting out secondary properties. STRs have been a point of controversy...
The Brothers Grimsby is a movie for those who thought Kingsman: The Secret Service didn’t go far enough. If all the exploding heads and anal-sex jokes and creative impalements of Matthew Vaughn’s tongue-in-cheek spy thriller didn’t do it for you, rest assured: This time, we get to see British super-agent...
Last year, as we've reported, a sexting scandal at Canon City High School was deemed so serious that a football game was cancelled out of fear that there wouldn't have been enough uninvolved players to field a full squad — and the school's administration floated threats of felony allegations against...
A new poll intended to make a serious point about the nomination of a Supreme Court justice to fill the seat opened after the death of Antonin Scalia winds up making a hilarious one about Donald Trump and newly retired Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. Turns out America would rather...
Brewery lawn games have taken on a whole new meaning at Dry Dock Brewing in Aurora, which recently completed a nine-hole disc golf course outside of its North Dock taproom and production facility.

There’s a scene during the first half of Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Apocalypse that is so emotionally resonant, so well-put-together and so quiet that you might briefly forget you’re watching a superhero film. It involves a raid by some Polish officers in the remote forest where Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto (Michael...
It’s not every day that significant new art finds are made. And it’s even rarer for these discoveries to be recognized, shared with the community, and integrated effectively into a larger historical and cultural context. But such is the case at Leadville’s National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, where...
Schmucks aren't always only schmucks. Sometimes they're also creeps, or scumbags, or pervs so repulsive that the thought of their depravity is capable of making the skin crawl right off your skeleton in order to huddle in a dark corner, shivering. Which brings us to Bryan Elrod. If prosecutors are...
As cinematic year 2015 reaches its end, the FOMO specter threatens to haunt us all. If you pored over the results of our film poll and felt aghast at how many apparently great movies you’ve yet to see, here at last is a chance to catch up without braving traffic. —Michael...
