Two years after we told you about Melvin Lewis's arrest for punching his girlfriend amid an argument in which she killed a dog, he's back in the news again.

As our Alan Prendergast reported, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Matsch has ruled that Colorado's sex-offender registry violates the due-process rights of three plaintiffs, thereby amounting to cruel and unusual punishment. Boulder attorney Alison Ruttenberg, who filed the case in 2013, sees the opinion as the potential death knell for a law-enforcement tool that, in her view, perpetuates factually dubious notions that fall apart when examined in an evenhanded way.

During a recent interview with Westword, Smart Approaches to Marijuana President and CEO Kevin Sabet, one of America's most influential critics of cannabis legalization, offered an unexpected observation about his visits to Denver. According to Sabet, a number of vehicles provided to him by Denver International Airport rental car businesses over the past few years have smelled strongly of pot. He added that he's had to exchange rentals multiple times at DIA before he's been given one that didn't reek of weed, giving him multiple opportunities to "educate" personnel at the agencies about the scope of a problem he views as positively chronic.

In May, as we've reported, Michael McCarron was arrested on a methamphetamine charge, even though he's never knowingly possessed the substance, because a small amount of marijuana in his possession registered positive for meth according to two field test kits known as NIKs. Now, an examination at a lab shows that the cannabis wasn't laced with meth after all.
Today, jury selection begins in the court battle between former Denver DJ David Mueller and pop star Taylor Swift; he claims she got him fired by falsely accusing him of groping her prior to a June 2013 concert at the Pepsi Center, while she maintains that Muller "reached up under my skirt and grabbed my ass right when I was having to pose for a photo" that was subsequently made public against the wishes of all parties involved. The controversy has resulted in the biggest celebrity trial in Denver since 1994, when King of Pop Michael Jackson was hauled into court after being accused of plagiarism by Crystal Cartier, a local singer-songwriter.

Among those who strongly oppose this idea are Pete Weir, current DA in the First Judicial District, where Eastwood was prosecuted, and the family of Matt Thieu, who survived after Eastwood shot him in the torso.

As we've reported, the Denver Post has put up a paywall over its content for the first time since the Aurora theater shootings trial. This change roughly coincides with most occupants of the paper's newsroom moving out of Denver, to the Post printing plant in Adams County, and editorial page editor Chuck Plunkett, who penned a weekend column about the two subjects, believes the paywall is making plenty of staffers feel better about relocating.
At this writing, the weekend bust of Denver Broncos receiver Carlos Henderson on marijuana charges has not yet been entered into the NFL Player Arrest Database, a resource that aims to catalog all baller bookings since 2000. When the information about Henderson is added, the Broncos arrest number will hit 49, tied for the most of any team in the entire National Football League over that span.
Late last year, the City of Denver agreed to pay $4.65 million and make major changes in its jail policies to settle claims involving Michael Marshall, who died in a Denver detention center circa 2015 during a mental-health crisis captured on video. But that wasn't enough according to a scathing new report from Denver's Office of the Independent Monitor, which makes eight recommendations for policy change above and beyond ones already agreed to in the settlement pact.
An Alamosa judge has ordered a new trial in the case of Krystal Voss, who was convicted of child abuse in the death of her 19-month-old son and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
