Jury selection began Monday in the long-delayed trial for the man charged with killing 10 people in the 2021 mass shooting at a King Soopers grocery store in Boulder. Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, 25, is charged with 10 counts of first-degree murder in the attack at the Table Mesa store, as well as more than 100 other charges. He pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, meaning that his attorneys do not contest that he carried out the mass shooting but say he should not be held legally responsible because he was so mentally ill at the time of the killings that he could not tell right from wrong. The trial will focus on Alissa’s mental state at the time of the attack, rather than whether or not he carried out the mass shooting. Alissa’s attorneys argued in a hearing earlier this month that his comments to police officers in the chaotic moments after the killings should not be allowed as evidence in the jury trial because he had not been advised of his right to remain silent. Boulder County District Court Chief Judge Ingrid Bakke ruled against the defense in an order last week, finding that Alissa’s comments were voluntary and not coerced by police officers.

FORT COLLINS — Jay Norvell’s CSU Rams will be without a key piece on offense and on defense for their season opener at No. 4 Texas. And the offensive piece is a big one — literally. Norvell announced during his weekly news conference Monday that 6-foot-8 tight end Jaxxon Warren, a transfer from North Texas, is out for the season after recent shoulder surgery. Warren had been expected to be a key contributor for the Rams, similar to the role served last season by former CSU tight end Dallin Holker, now with the New Orleans Saints. “Obviously, it’s a huge bummer not having one of our guys,” quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi said Monday. Norvell added that defensive lineman Nuer Gatkuoth won’t play against the Longhorns because of turf toe.

Are the ballot measures needed cuts or extortion? Re: “Is end to property tax wars in sight?” Aug. 18 news story Now we have a special session called by the governor, which I believe is not needed as the legislature passed a bill during the past session that set a reasonable solution to the problem of property taxes. There is a long history of this taxation.

Sometimes the dog catches the car. When it does, it quickly discovers that it bit off more than it can chew, and it has to let go. That’s exactly the situation that far-right Colorado politicians and dark money groups have found themselves in with Initiative 108. If passed, Initiative 108 would devastate rural and working-class urban communities and families throughout the state, while giving exorbitant tax cuts to the wealthiest Coloradans. The multi-millionaire proponents of Initiative 108, and their legislative cheerleaders, have now demanded a special session of the legislature — which started Monday — to enact a deal brokered through backroom negotiations, in exchange for removing 108 from the ballot.
