Maybe I missed it, but the story I read this morning in the RMNews said there was a shift change after the first incident. The new guards didn't realize the earlier problem when they put the kid in the cell. It's not much of an excuse but that is what happened

Assuming the guards are telling the truth. Maybe they are, maybe they're not.

I have no idea if the guards are telling the truth or not. Time and an investigation will tell us for sure. If the Jefco system is broken, which many of us think it is in a number of ways, then it's up to the voters there to do something about it. I do not approve of some of the things they have done in the past but since I don't live there, it's not my call. I do care, in that things like this make even Denver look good by comparison.

The Rocky Mountain News is usually fair, more so than the Denver Post, but I will not jump to conclusions on the story until more is known.

If the facts of the story is accurate, the jerk with the kid in the cell should be hung, in my not so humble opinion. I don't know the race of the kid but if he's white I doubt we'll hear much more about this. Black on white crime is not near as fun to report on as the other way around.
