SandBoxBlogs: Aspen Daily News "In sanctions appeal, DA accuses public defender of ‘gotcha’ tactic"

Update to this post on March 13, 2012 from the Aspen Daily News:
"An article in Saturday’s edition about the 9th Judicial District Attorney’s Office appealing a judge’s sanction contained incorrect information. The trial court’s order dismissing the case is a final order for purposes of appeal. But if the office wins the appeal, the defendant can be brought back to trial..."

Note from SandBox: 
(Now that DA Beeson has thrown his hat in the ring for district attorney in the 9th, please take note that there will be no special treatment given to any news press surrounding his race. His articles, if they are SandBox worthy or chosen in the daily agg run-up; will be put up just like anyone else in a political race. What SandBox Commentators will continue to do, is heavily moderate his articles. We are the only news media that provides the courtesty of moderating commentary from the general public on 9th Judicial District and Mr. Beeson's articles. )

For what she called a series of blatant missteps involving pretrial evidence in five cases, Judge Gail Nichols of Pitkin County District Court in August punished the Aspen district attorney’s office by quashing a statement made by the defendant in an aggravated motor-vehicle theft case.

The judge also said she would not allow police photographs to be used at the trial of Jesus Aguilera-Pimentel. Without the statement and the pictures, Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said he could not prosecute Aguilera-Pimentel, 25, of Carbondale.

District Attorney Martin Beeson appealed the sanctions to the state high court on Sept. 28. His office was notified just two days later that justices would not be reviewing Nichols’ decision...."
