It took a long time for the DA to admit that. Stephan Long speaks publicly after DA drops all charges against him | Denver's 9news
The man who shot and killed two people on I-25 last year following a road rage incident spoke to the public for the first time since the Denver district attorney dropped all charges against him.
For 14 months, Stephan Long has claimed self-defense. The DA said the evidence matched what Long originally said and agreed it was self-defense. The office closed its case against Long.
14 months is a long time. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that DA HATES self-defense, or that Stephan Long is a young black man with dreadlocks. I'm sure the DA of Denver isn't racist. No. It was probably that the paperwork just got lost. Or something
Alexander Landau, founder and co-executive director of the Denver Justice Project said that's not enough.
"Because Beth [District Attorney Beth McCann], yes, you get the credit for finally dismissing this case but you also deserve the scrutiny for charging him in the first place. No new evidence was presented. Everything that led up to this dismissal was the exact same evidence you were looking at from day one," Landau said.
