The Boulder DA has charged with them with 3 felonies in addition to the wildlife misdomenors due to their attempted coverup. Sounds like the investigation turned up text messages that showed premeditation going back to much earlier in the day. Neckoprosy on the elk showed no Evidence the elk was injured and needed to put down.
9news.com has links to the arrest affidavits that include the recovered text messages that detail the planning and potential repair of the horns for a mount.
Yeah 8 years in prison seems about right.
Sounds like they are throwing the book at these scumbags! If fully convicted I think we should elect this DA as governor -- from boulder or not!!!
As for the local residents, this elk was almost like a pet to them and their kids. We shouldn't poke fun at their grieving. And if hunters want some respect they need to respect the views of those who do not hunt.
