Denver District Attorney Beth McCann (Hyoung Chang, The Denver Post) The Denver District Attorney’s Office fired back at a former top prosecutor who earlier this year claimed she was paid less than her male colleagues as part of systemic gender discrimination at the office, according to newly filed court records. Attorneys for Denver District Attorney Beth McCann denied ex-Senior Chief Deputy District Attorney Adrienne Greene’s allegations that she was wrongly paid less than her male counterparts and portrayed Greene’s pay disparity lawsuit as opportunistic, baseless and false. “She only filed this lawsuit on her way out the door, after several failed attempts to extract an enhanced retirement package,” attorney Meghan Martinez wrote in a July 19 motion to dismiss some of Greene’s claims. Greene, a 25-year veteran of the district attorney’s office, was hired in 1996 and resigned in January.
