Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:23:44 GMT

The police officer who fatally shot a 36-year-old unarmed man in August while responding to a domestic violence call in south Denver was legally justified in using deadly force, according to a decision letter issued by District Attorney Beth McCann on Wednesday.Brandon Cole acted aggressively toward Denver police officers Steven Watson and Audrey McAndrews and they reasonably believed he was holding a knife when he confronted them, according to the district attorney’s office.Investigators later found Cole was holding a black felt-tip marker in his hand during the encounter that ended with McAndrews fatally shooting him as he ran toward her.“After carefully reviewing all the evidence in the case, I believe that Officer Watson’s use of force by the Taser and that Officer McAndrews’s use of deadly force were both justified based on Colorado law. Therefore, no criminal charges will be filed against either officer,” McCann said in a statement Wednesday.Investigators determine...

But Judge Beryl Howell of the DC District Court, who oversaw the high-profile trial last week, gave Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman’s attorneys the ability to attempt to collect on Wednesday.Giuliani, Howell noted, had escaped revealing his worth by refusing to turn over evidence he had in the case before trial, never acknowledged previous court orders for him to reimburse the women for his attorneys’ fee, repeatedly claimed he’s broke and the verdict would severely hurt him, and yet still had support to help him in recent months.“Giuliani’s persistent refusal to respond to plaintiffs...
