Cornelius Haney is accused of first-degree murder in the death of Heather Perry, whose body was found in an alleyway on Saturday. Haney was released April 15 after Democratic Gov. Jared Polis signed an executive order on March 25 to allow “special-needs parole” for some inmates.
Haney was close to the end of a seven-year prison stint after being found guilty of a 2016 armed robbery in Arapahoe County, Colorado.
The Colorado Department of Corrections attempted to deflect blame on Haney's early release, stating in a press release that he was scheduled for release in August of this year regardless of the decision to let him out early.
“Mr. Haney has been eligible for parole since 2017," read part of the statement. "His case was reviewed by the Parole Board, and he was approved for release. He was released on 4-15-2020. Mr. Haney had a mandatory release date of 8-22-2020 and would have been required to be released at that time regardless of the Parole Board decision."
Polis, too, deflected blame when he told reporters on Friday that "nobody on that parole board thought that this person was going to do what they allegedly did."

The stupidity of the ruling class is astounding.
Government workers are responsible for nothing...good or bad there their for life..
the person or persons that let that criminal murderer go should have to serve the same length of time as the murderer
It’s going to take a couple politician’s kids getting killed by these released criminals to get their attention and even then....
WOW! Barely out of prison and he manages to get a gun, and murder someone. Did he work to buy the gun?
Did he fill out proper paperwork for the gun?
Why did not Calif, er, that is, Colorado’s highly vaunted RED FLAG laws flag him! I thought Cal, er that is Colorado’s new gun laws were supposed to prevent just this sort of thing.
the media won’t care, black perp, white victim. The governor has more blood on his hands.
It’s a philosophy problem; a flawed view of humanity. Murderer Willie Horton was released by George McGovern on weekend furloughs. He was serving life. He would leave Friday, kill a few people, and check back in Sunday night. He was caught in the act and it cost McGovern the election. What idiot would do such stupid things? Any Democrat. It’s because they don’t feel society has the right to keep people locked up. After all, who is to say what say what is right and what is wrong?
This POS should be drawn and quartered TODAY.
Death by murder is Way More better than death by Covid.
Yet they arrest business owners,
“Loveland, CO – A Loveland, Colorado shop owner was arrested for keeping his business open after being ordered to close down – allegedly violating multiple orders.
Ricke previously said the shop was following social distancing guidelines, keeping things clean, and only allowing shoppers in the store for 15 minutes.
Ricke was reportedly notified by telephone, and after refusing commands not to enter his Loveland shop, he was arrested.” https://www.coloradocitizenpress.com/loveland-shop-owner-arrested-for-keeping-business-open/
Sounds like a sentencing problem with the judiciary.
Dukakis, Massachusetts. Not McGovern. 1988.
Michael Dukakis.
Al Gore made an attack ad on Horton’s release by Dukakis for the primaries.
I thought Cal, er that is Colorado’s new gun laws were supposed to prevent just this sort of thing.
= = =
The laws are not the problem. The guns are.
Go get the guns. They are causing the problems (all the problems).
The laws are perfect (from perfect legislators).
The peons and guns are the problem.
If they can shut down an economy in order to save lives can’t they keep violent offenders in jail to save lives, too?
“Al Gore made an attack ad on Horton’s release by Dukakis for the primaries.”
For which they have blamed any number of Republicans.
But was he wearing his mask?
I can’t believe the effort to recall peter-puffing Polis failed.
It’s the leftists’ dream - let violent criminals go free and lock up productive citizens.
