Show Notes
Colorados District Attorneys and Public Defenders unite on a bill to address the release of dangerous defendants with mental health issues, intellectual disabilities, or brain injuries due to a 1972 Supreme Court ruling. The new measure, sponsored by Senator Judy Amabile, opens more beds at the Colorado Mental Health Institute, repurposes a Pueblo site, and secures nursing homes for brain injuries or Alzheimers cases. Judges get nearly six months to arrange secure spots before any charge dismissals, with twenty-three million dollars already earmarked by the budget committee.
