Colorado’s chief court administrator, the second-highest ranking administrative official in the state’s Judicial Department, resigned Thursday amid a Denver Post investigation into a $2.5 million contract he awarded this spring to his former chief of staff, whom he earlier disciplined because of concerns about her expense receipts. Christopher Ryan’s five-paragraph resignation comes a day after he canceled a contract he gave to The Leadership Practice, a Denver business owned by Mindy Masias, the department’s former chief of staff. Masias resigned in March with an agreement that included removing “any disciplinary action(s) and documentation” from her personnel file. The contract — to provide leadership training to judges and other administrative officials across the department’s 22 judicial districts — was given to her after a one-month public bidding process yielded no responses from across the nation. Masias formed her company in January, just before the contract went public … [Read more...] about Colorado’s chief court administrator resigns amid Denver Post investigation into contract

Colorado court officials — including the chief justice of the Supreme Court — were trying to ensure the personal misconduct of nearly two dozen judges and administrators remained secret when they gave a multi-million dollar contract to a former Judicial Department employee who threatened to expose it all if she was fired, according to the agency’s former chief administrator. Facing dismissal over financial irregularities, Mindy Masias, the former chief of staff of the Supreme Court Administrator’s office, was instead handed a $2.5 million five-year contract in March 2019. The contract was in exchange for not filing a tell-all sexual-discrimination lawsuit, according to Christopher Ryan, the state’s chief court administrator who resigned in July 2019 amid a Denver Post investigation into the deal. Although The Post had previously reported that Masias was given the contract as well as other financial benefits despite facing dismissal, the details behind the deal have only now … [Read more...] about Colorado Judicial Department gave $2.5 million contract to prevent tell-all sex discrimination lawsuit about judges’, court officials’ misconduct

Acting as his own attorney, Dylann Roof, the killer of nine black parishioners in Charleston, South Carolina faced the jurors on Wednesday who will decide whether he is given the death penalty or life in prison. Many of those who lost loved ones believe that the death penalty would bring justice. Other grieving relatives will not speak on the issue, preferring to leave that decision to the justice system. On December 15, the federal jury found 22-year-old Roof guilty on all 33 counts he was facing. The jury of eight white women, one white man, two black women, and a black man–took less than two hours to make that decision, reported ABC News 4 in South Carolina. Roof confessed to the hate crime killing of the nine black Americans at the Mother Emanuel AME Church prayer service on June 17, 2015, including senior pastor and state senator Clementa C. Pinckney.
