STORY: "Charges dismissed in killing of baby after district attorney does TV interview disparaging suspect, published by 9 News, on May 31, 2024.
GIST: "A judge in Fremont County dismissed first-degree murder charges this week against a man accused of killing a 10-month old baby after the district attorney prosecuting the case did an interview with a TV station appearing to disparage the suspect.
District Court Judge Kaitlin B. Turner wrote in an order Wednesday that 11th Judicial District Attorney Linda Stanley's "actions reflect knowing and intentional outrageous government conduct." The order concludes that her conduct violated the defendant's right to due process and, as a result, "dismissal of the charges is an appropriate remedy."
William Jacobs was charged with first-degree murder after a woman left her son with him on May 21, 2023. Prosecutors alleged Jacobs shook the baby and the baby ultimately died.
In the months after the charges were filed against both Jacobs and the mother, Stanley did an interview with KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs. In the interview, she appeared to disparage Jacobs.
"I'm going to be very blunt here. He has zero investment in this child. Zero. He's watching that baby so he can get laid. That's it. And have a place to sleep," Stanley told KRDO reporter Sean Rice in the video-recorded interview.
In the court order dismissing the charges against Jacobs, Turner wrote, "Her comments included her vituperative, sensational and inflammatory opinions of Mr. Jacobs’ character, his credibility, his reputation and his criminal record."

FINAL WORD: (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases): "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions. They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!

YET ANOTHER FINAL WORD:
David Hammond, one of Broadwater's attorneys who sought his exoneration, told the Syracuse Post-Standard, "Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it's the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction.
