Self-Defense Seems to Be Legal in Denver

I can't really tell how the DA feels about that from the statement. Prosecutors won't charge resident who fatally shot intruder | Denver Gazette

According to Denver Police, a resident returned to an apartment inside One Observatory Park around 1 a.m. on July 21 and was startled by an intruder. The apartment building is on East Evans Avenue, just east of South University Boulevard.

The resident shot the intruder, who died at the scene, police said. The man, identified as 27-year-old Nelson Kimathi, died from multiple gunshot wounds, according to the coroner's office.

It took police from July to this week to get their investigation complete. To be fair, they may have been waiting on something from the autopsy.

It took the DA less than a week to make the self-defense call, so that's not too bad.

Nowhere in the statement, however, does the DA talk about justice, or individual rights. The statement only says, effectively, "We can't win this one, so we won't try."
