Boulder's infamous 'land-grab' case settled
Daily Camera ^ | November 18, 2008 | Heath Urie

Kirlins say they will only have to cede 15 percent of south Boulder lot.

Two Boulder neighbors have settled an adverse-possession case that made national headlines last year and prompted changes to the state's law, according to a joint statement released Tuesday.

Don and Susie Kirlin, who originally lost 34 percent of one of their vacant south Boulder lots to their neighbors Richard McLean and Edith Stevens, said they had settled a lawsuit and will only cede 15 percent of the lot.

"This settlement allows the parties to put this longstanding and difficult dispute behind them," the couples wrote in the 48-word statement.

The agreement will give McLean and Stevens access to a five-foot strip of the Kirlins' next-door lot, which widens to nine feet at the north end of the property.

“judge” is a title that no longer applies, in many cases.

There are three people in this case that deserve something monstrous happening to them. I won’t say who and I won’t say what, but people can use their imaginations quite successfully. And they probably won’t be wrong.

Black robes do not make of men gods. That these vermin would twist the legal system to benefit one of their own utterly disgusts me.

The Kirlins said that they plan to sell the property.

Who would want to live next to such nasty, greedy...?

Thanks for the update g76. Husband and I were just talking about this a couple of weeks ago—wondering what happened. I don’t believe the thieves deserved one inch, but that’s just me.

The legal bills were getting crazy.

They end the lawsuits, sell the lot hopefully, and ?

Oh I believe that. I don't blame the Kirlins--they fought a great fight and taking it to the media helped them out bunches. I just don't think those nasty people deserved anything (if I were king of the world).

The Kirlins must have weighed the legal bills vs the worth of the property, and figured that it would be cheaper to settle, sell and build elsewhere, far away from these corrupt, selfish rotten people.

I hope the next lot they buy, they will fence off. ;)

Of course he did. Corrupt is as corrupt does.
