Democrat John Walsh’s victory in this week’s primary election all but ensured he’ll be Denver’s next district attorney. In a conversation with The Denver Post on Thursday, the former U.S. attorney for Colorado discussed his vision for the Denver District Attorney’s Office and his approach to violent crime, drug prosecutions and racial disparities in the criminal justice system. After the general election this November — a formality since there are no challengers in the race — Walsh will replace current District Attorney Beth McCann in January for a four-year term. The conversation has been edited for length and clarity. Q: You’ve said addressing Denver’s violent crime is one of your top priorities once you take office.
