Argument in the bathroom escalated to shoot on the Highlands Ranch Main Event: Docs

Tyrone Glover, the lawyer, who represents Sabron's family in the case, categorically rejected how Saabron was portrayed by Sheriff's Office, and the agency “deliberately associated two separate incidents to retrospectively justify the shootout of an innocent man”.

In court on Thursday, Glover described the potential publication of edited Body War camera film material as a “convincing argument against our clients” by the office of the sheriff, and agreed to the lawyers to ask the judge to relieve the publication of shorter clips from the deputy camera and the deputy camera, as well as from their Deputy and his patrol car from the main event.

In their argument, the lawyers of Navaha said that they “would not present a fair procedure to our client from the Sheriff's office outside of these three clips”, and asked the judge to leave Navaha out of them.

However, the public prosecutor said that the video edited by the Sheriff's Office would still be a raw video – even if it enlarged, slowed down or overlaid with text to help you explain what happened that night, and Navaeha's rights of navaha in no way would in no way imply on a fair process.

In response, the lawyers from Navaha said that a worked on the events from the Sheriff's office of Douglas County would continue to involve her client with Seeborn, which would impair “the jury”. [and] Create a credibility problem for witnesses. “

Coating on the circumstances of the case and after hearing arguments on both sides, judge Waidler ordered the court to publish shorter, unprocessed versions of these three clips within 72 hours, on the condition that they do not show what Navaeha did that night.

The judge refuses to reduce the “incredibly oppressive” bond

The defenders for Navaha then asked the judge to reduce an “incredibly oppressive bond of 1 million US dollars” to $ 100,000 in cash in cash, and argued that the suspect was not a fluid risk because they grew up in the community and had the support of parishioners and their family, some of which were present in court on Thursday.

In order to strengthen their arguments, the lawyers of Navaha asked several members of their family to ask their case and ask for a reduction in the bond. Among them was a lieutenant colonel, her grandfather and her great -grandmother, who asked the judge, so that Navaha could give her recently deceased brother “one last farewell”.

However, the prosecutors argued that the suspect was a danger to the community and explained by explaining that Navaha “pulled out a weapon and shot and fired people”, in a crowded place where many families enjoyed their night.

Judge Waidler-Al she explained her decision to reduce a reduction in her bond, she said that Navaha appreciated the support of the family, but was confronted with five charges of the first degree attempted murder together with other charges: “If she was sentenced, essentially life in prison.”

Proponents applaud decisions, replies Douglas County Sheriff's Office

Outside the courtroom, lawyers and family members who showed support for Seabron during the provisional hearing, stated that the judge's decision was a “very small step towards truth”.

Suci Martinez, Seabron's grandmother, said her grandson was a man who grew up in the church, and remembered him as someone who loved people and had an infectious smile.
