SandBox Comments: Craig Daily Press "Prosecutor back for second stint with 14th Judicial DA"

SandBox did a lengthy post on Brett Barkey when he returned from his third tour in Iraq.  Now archived to hard copy.

Congratulations to retired Marine Corp JAG Colonel Brett Barkey on his appointment to the second-highest seat in the 14th Judicial District.

"There’s one thing Brett Barkey knows well, and there’s another deep in his blood.

The first is the legal system. Barkey has more than 20 years in the legal field, following his graduation from Georgetown University Law Center and his subsequent admittance to the bar in 1986.

The second is his connection to Colorado.

“I’m a fourth-generation Coloradan,” he said. “My ancestors came out here from Iowa on a covered wagon in the 1860s and settled in the South Park area.

“One of their homestead cabins is still standing.”

Barkey has returned to the state where his family made their home.

More specifically, he’s been welcomed back to the 14th Judicial District Attorney’s Office, where he’s filled the assistant district attorney’s seat since Aug. 22.

Barkey is familiar with the 14th, having served as Moffat County chief deputy district attorney before resigning in March 2008...."
