This guy was the director of the Colorado Department of Corrections. He recently denied transfer to a Saudi prison for a certain well-to-do and influential Saudi gentleman, who’s serving a life sentence for keeping a housekeeper as his sex slave for four years. Most likely, in my opinion, the shooting is related.
Clements’ death occurred a week after he denied a request by a Saudi national, Homaidan al-Turki, to serve out the remainder of a Colorado prison sentence in Saudi Arabia, the Associated Press reported. He cited al-Turki’s refusal to undergo sex offender treatment in his denial.
Al-Turki, a well-known member of Denver’s Muslim community, was convicted in state court in 2006 of unlawful sexual contact by use of force, theft and extortion and sentenced to 28 years to life in prison. Prosecutors said al-Turki kept a housekeeper a virtual slave for four years in his home and sexually assaulted her. A judge reduced the sentence to eight years to life. Al-Turki insisted the case was politically motivated.
Al-Turki’s conviction angered Saudi officials and prompted the U.S. State Department to send Colorado Attorney General John Suthers to Saudi Arabia to meet with King Abdullah, Crown Prince Sultan and al-Turki’s family.
Dave Joly, Denver spokesman for the FBI, said agents are looking at all angles. He did not say if federal agents joined the investigation as a result of the al-Turki case. “Nothing is off the table,” Joly said in an e-mail. “If a lead comes up in another state or out of the area, the FBI is here to assist in any way we can.”
Mike Knight, chief investigator for the Arapahoe County District Attorney’s office, said the prosecutors who worked on the al-Turki case and other high-profile prosecutions at the DA’s office are taking increased security measures as a result of the slaying.

Good info. Thanks. There are any muzzies in Super Max in Florence.
I wouldn’t be surprised.
I think I’ve become more paranoid over the last year. The last 3 deliveries that were made to my home and required the delivery men to be in my home (furniture, appliances etc.) were all immigrants from Muslim countries (2 from Tajikistan and 1 from Uzbekistan). All spoke flawless English, though they had been in the country less than 3 years and none were on a student visa and all on supposed work visas though there only job was working as delivery men.
All I could think of when they left is when did I move back to Toledo, OH and not realize it and then I thought wow what a way for enemies to get to know the routes around an area and to get a feel for the people of a certain community!
Well, well...if you have enough money, you can buy your justice...any kind of justice.
