Supreme Court Reviews Parental Rights and Police Search Cases | Denver News

The Colorado Supreme Court is weighing two high-stakes cases—one about a father stripped of parental rights after nearly three years without family contact, and another about a police officer sued for a warrantless vehicle search. In the parental rights case, appellate courts found potential procedural errors and questioned whether the county fulfilled its duty to offer reunification services. In the civil rights case, the court must decide whether the officer must prove his search was lawful—or if the plaintiff must prove it wasn’t. Both rulings could reshape how child welfare cases and police accountability are handled in Colorado. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
