In the days since taking over the district attorney’s office in the 12th Judicial District, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has already uncovered a backlog of roughly 500 cases. via JennKovaleski
Weiser’s office took over after the resignation of District Attorney Alonzo Payne, who resigned one day after Weiser announced he would appoint a monitor to oversee the office after finding that the DA’s office had violated victims’ rights.
On top of the attorney general’s investigation for violating the state’s Victims Rights Act, Payne was also facing a recall election that was organized and funded by the City of Alamosa. “Victims were not listened to, they were not treated respectfully, they were not told about the critical stages of the criminal justice process,” Weiser said.
