On May 6, the 17th Judicial District Attorney’s Office of Brian Mason moved to dismiss all remaining charges in his district against Lillian House, Joel Northam, Eliza Lucero, and Terrance Roberts. The office cited as the reason “an ethical obligation to only proceed on charges [the] office can prove and to dismiss charges that [they] cannot prove.” None of these four defendants, in an effort to have the charges dropped, agreed to give testimony against other people in the movement.
We certainly agree with Mason’s conclusion. It has been plain to people in Aurora and all over the country from the beginning of this prosecution that the charges levied against these organizers lacked any real basis. The prosecution has centered on a concerted effort to discredit these organizers and the peaceful and justified movement for justice for Elijah McClain. It focused on peripheral acts from individuals completely unrelated to the organizers or the vast majority of participants.

On Nov. 17, 2018, Williams was pulling a trailer behind his Toyota 4Runner on I-70 near Limon and lost control. He ended up facing east in the westbound lanes and drove the wrong way on the interstate for three miles before the crash, the DA s Office said.
Williams T-boned a Toyota Tundra pickup being driven by Jared Purdy just before 6 p.m. Reagan Purdy was in the rear seat and was killed in the crash. Her father suffered serious injuries, the DA s Office said. This defendant knowingly and recklessly drove his truck the wrong way on the interstate for three miles, said District Attorney John Kellner in a news release. If not for this defendant s willful actions and reckless choices, young Reagan Purdy would still be alive.
