A mental health evaluation has been ordered for the third and final suspect in last year’s deadly spree of rock-throwing attacks in suburban Denver after the defense claimed his ADHD contributed to the killing and the injury of half a dozen drivers. Joseph Koenig, 19, was set to begin his jury trial for first-degree murder in Jefferson County district court later this month when his defense requested to introduce additional evidence and expert testimony into the case for an “impaired mental condition” defense, according to court documents. Koenig’s trial has been delayed until health officials can return a mental health evaluation to the judge determining the 19-year-old’s “mental condition.” The Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office objected, claiming Koenig failed to show “good cause” to justify the late introduction of a mental condition defense, evidence and expert witnesses, “particularly as he was represented by his current counsel for nearly a year prior to the deadline for raising any such defense.” Absent “good cause,” Colorado law requires that a mental condition notice be raised at the time of arraignment — in this case, April 1 — and that any experts be introduced no later than 35 days before trial. Koenig’s lawyers filed the request to introduce a “mental condition defense and related experts” nearly three months after the April 1 deadline, according to court documents. Despite the request being raised only 22 days before trial — with the request filed June 27 for a July 19 trial — First Judicial District Court Judge Christopher Zenisek approved the defense’s motion and ordered Koenig’s evaluation, court records show.

If you’re up to date in the world of liquor — or pop culture — you know that celebrity tequila is so Suerte Blanco. (Courtesy photo) popular right now. From Kendall Jenner’s 818 Tequila to Matthew McConaughey’s Pantalones, numerous new brands have been launched or endorsed by influential names in the last several years. Due to the celebrities’ extensive social media reach, these brands tend to blow up quickly, flying off of liquor store shelves. As a result, smaller tequila brands — like Boulder’s Suerte Tequila — have recognized the power of a strong celebrity endorsement. Earlier this year, Suerte began looking for a famed spokesperson to help create buzz about its small-batch, single-distilled añejo and blanco tequilas. “We tried to get that Austin Butler Guy – not sure if you’ve heard of him, he’s a hot new actor, but he was busy,” said Chuck Porter, marketing advisor at Suerte.
