The bond for Lilly Whitworth, a former student charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in connection to threats targeting Colorado Springs schools, has been increased tenfold. On Thursday Whitworth’s bond was increased to $750,000, according to the Elbert County District Attorney’s Office. The substantial increase came about after an Elbert County Jail staffer reported on Monday that Whitworth “indicated if able to bond out, the defendant would still try to carry out the original plans of a mass shooting,” the DA’s office said in a news release. Prosecutors on Tuesday filed a motion with the court to increase the bond, as well as seeking “additional protections in the mandatory protection order.” Related Articles Crime and Public Safety | Kendrick Castillo’s parents ask judge to release information about STEM School shooting — including alleged warning signs Crime and Public Safety | Two teens sentenced in 2021 shooting outside Hinkley High School in Aurora Crime and Public Safety | Letters: A shout-out to Denver mayoral candidate Lisa Calderon Crime and Public Safety | East High shooting spotlights tenuous balance between school safety, “moral obligation” to educate kids Crime and Public Safety | Ex-student charged with attempted murder in alleged Colorado Springs school shooting plot At a Thursday hearing, the bond was increased and conditions of a mandatory protection order were modified to include GPS monitoring and no contact with any public or private school property or institution in Colorado, the release said.

  • Krugman: Never Underestimate The Ignorance Of The Powerful

    Paul Krugman points out that wealth and power attract people who tell you what you want to hear. There are wealthy men with enough humility to accept constructive criticism — "I’ve met some of them. But such men don’t seem likely to play a role in the incoming administration," Krugman says: What this means in the current context is that almost all attempts to refute Trump’s claims that he can replace income taxes with tariffs aim too high.
