Elderly man facing serious charges for shooting at thieves (illegal aliens)

WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - Legal analyst Dan Recht said he believes the Jefferson County District Attorney is "seriously overcharging" a Wheat Ridge homeowner, accused of attempted first degree murder for shooting at two thieves.

82-year-old Robert Wallace said he fired two shots at two men when they tried to run him over while stealing his flatbed trailer.

Wallace now faces twelve felony counts, including four counts of attempted first degree murder, for what he described as an act of defending his property and his life. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

One of the thieves, Damacio Torres later admitted to the theft. He and his partner in crime, Alvara Cardano both have prior arrest records and are believed to be in the country illegally.

But they are not facing any charges.

Recht said, in his experience, prosecutors overcharge cases to force a person to plea bargain. He argued that it's just not right to put a person through that kind of mental and financial stress.

Jefferson County DA, Scott Storey, indicated he'll take a closer look at his office's decision to throw the book at the homeowner and hinted the charges could be reduced. He said the investigation continues into the confessed thieves.

Agreed. The prosecutor should be impeached as well or at least publicly humiliated.

Wish I was on the grand jury that DA Storey presented this piece of crap to.

Can a grand jury indict a DA for MALFEASANCE?

He should have blown them away.

Finally, someone who understands that Clint Eastwood rolled over for the Liberals in his final movie.

This was easily the worst movie he ever made, bar none, including that stupid one with the monkey.

I was not aware of the fiasco going on in Denver.

I owe you an apology for being so flippant.

Whoa...........wrong post to wrong person, guess I’m tired.

Back to the movie, right after it came out everyone called it Eastwood’s greatest, In fact I think I was the only one who said otherwise. I was just glad to see that someone else saw it for what it was.

That said, I’m hitting the hay.

GOP. Waddayaknow!

His photo shows he is a legend in his own mind. His record shows him to be a pro-amnesty illegal Latino-lover who really needs his nether regions severely kicked while he is bent down osculating the nether regions of the illegal voters of Colorado.

Well, Guy, what can I say, great minds travel same paths.

The air is rare up here with us.
