Denver Post Presses Jeffco DA Storey on Manzanares

  • 3 Comments
  • by: Colorado Pols

A news brief this morning:

The Denver Post filed a complaint in Jefferson County District Court on Monday asking a judge to open the case file in the investigation of former Judge and Denver City Attorney Larry Manzanares.

Last week, the district attorney’s office rejected a request from The Post to open the file and shed light on the decision to charge Manzanares with three felonies in connection to a stolen computer that was tracked to his home.

District Attorney Scott Storey’s office said releasing more details on Manzanares was against the public interest.

In the complaint, The Post said it is concerned with the conduct of the district attorney and other public officials, not Manzanares. [Pols emphasis] Manzanares took his own life last month.

  1. The Post should focus it’s limited resources on the Jeffco fiascos rather than kicking a corpse. The man is dead give it a rest-lest some other politician starts crying about how hard it is to be a hispanic these days.

  2. Manzanares’ took his life, not the District Attorney.  But, the power of prosecutors, such as Nifong, to abuse not merely the innocent, but the guilty, is not an abuse which can be tolerated.  Such abuse can drive not merely an unstable man, but a good man, to kill himself.  Some value honor above all else and taking one’s life is the last testament one can make to defend one’s honor.  It is an honor killing of one’s self, instead of another as an act of revenge.  How “guilty” Manzaners was I do not know.  But, guilty or not, how little “public interest” is there to protect if his civil rights are now not an issue–he is dead by his own hand.  The question is whether the living are hiding behind a sham of protecting the “public interest” or merely themselves.  If they were worried about their own honor, they should not hide behind the “public interest” and open the files.  It is, if you will, like a Mafia don taking the 5th.  I hope the judge opens the case file–and I hope that no district attorney or assistant or someone else should take his/her life on any revelation of facts showing that he or she “stole” Manzaneres’ honor by  abuses of the prosecutor’s powers of office.
