NEW: Judge ends Club Q shooting contempt case against sheriff over media leaks
District Court Judge Robin Chittum found that while it was clear someone violated the court’s order to maintain secrecy around records about a prior criminal case against the mass shooting suspect, it was not clear who violated that order.
“Does it appear to the court that there has been contempt? Yes,” she said during a hearing Wednesday morning. “Somebody talked, somebody disclosed documents, somebody said something. “But, the important second part of this inquiry was: Is it this respondent? Is it the El Paso County Sheriff’s office that committed this contempt? Do the allegations in the verified motion rise to the level of giving me enough information to say yes? And I can’t find that it does.”and wounding several others in the Nov. 19 mass shooting at Club Q, a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub.
