Appeals Court Reverses DA Discovery Ruling | Denver News

The Colorado Court of Appeals just overturned a judge’s dismissal of a 2022 attempted murder case, sending it back for a new hearing after prosecutors handed over key 911 recordings just six days before trial — including one that suggested the defendant might have been the victim. While the appeals court agreed the DA’s office mishandled evidence, it ruled the judge overstepped by dismissing the case without letting prosecutors respond to claims of a broader pattern of misconduct. This sets a new legal precedent and underscores ongoing concerns about evidence disclosure in Denver, as lawmakers consider overhauling the state’s discovery system.
