Is the $1 million figure the value of the entire lot, or of the portion of the lot the judge awarded to the neighbors?

What I meant is that every state basically has this squatter law in one form or another.

I am not really sure, but I think it is the value of the entire lot.

Interesting discussion of “squatters’ rights”. Of course, it had to happen in Boulder, Colorado.

This scumbag judge and his scumbag lawyer wife are even worse than the editorial indicates. Not only did they use the courts to steal the Kirlin’s property, they went back to court to demand even more. Fortunately this petition was not agreed to. But these thieves are also demanding that the Kirlins pay their legal costs of $9,000. According to what I read the Kirlins have already had to spend $120,000 defending their property rights, and they will be having to spend even more to appeal the case.
Unbelievable!

I read the other day where this couple went back to the judge asking for an additional 9 inches of the neighbor’s lot to be granted to them. The same judge refused their 2nd request.

They are theives and the judge who made the ruling is corrupt, and I would bet, a friend.

re: the judge who made the ruling is corrupt, and I would bet, a friend.
From what I have read, you are correct in your assumption. And even though the judge was a friend of the couple stealing the property, he refused to recuse himself from the case.

This was posted on the Daily Camera. Reposted here with permission of the poster.
I believe Deprivation of Rights under Color of Law occurred when Judge Sandstead issued the speedy Friday afternoon restraining order to prevent the Kirlins from putting up their fence in the first place. For being law-abiding and playing by the rules, they ultimately lost their land. What they didn't know is M/S played by crooked rules.
The act of putting up a fence was an attempt on the part of the real owner to stop the adverse possession claim, and they were prevented from doing that by court order. The Kirlins faced jail (contempt of court) if they put up their fence.
All the attempts by the M/S team to spray Febreeze on their actions and reasoning makes them stink worse to average people like you and me. They forget that people like us sit on JURIES.
We the people can insist the U.S. Attorney Troy Eid get a grand jury to look at this mess as a prelude to prosecution.
