Denver May 2005 Election
Bob Ewegen is encouraging Denver voters to approve the new Denver Justice Center in his column it today's Denver Post [April 9, 2005, "Six reasons for new Denver jail"]. He writes, "During Vialpando's trial, alert deputies confiscated a map he had drawn outlining how he planned to escape from the courthouse with the help of an armed confederate. I won't give any details because our courthouse is just as vulnerable to Vialpando's scheme today as it was during his 1988 trial. Innocent citizens could be caught in the crossfire. In contrast, the new jail will include secure criminal court facilities. Court personnel, jurors and ordinary citizens with business at city hall will no longer risk being killed during the kind of violent escapes that Vialpando planned and that Brian Nichols allegedly accomplished."
