Scott Turner:
"...As is usually the case, both sides have some valid points. However, whatever merit either party's position may have will be lost in the partisan rhetoric of an election year. Regardless of your position on these amendments or your political affiliation, the fact remains that failure of Congress to renew this legislation in some form could endanger victims and extinguish many of the gains that have been made in the past 18 years.
It is fitting that such an important victims' issue was heard during National Crime Victims' Week. I urge you to contact your representative in Washington and tell them to pass the Violence Against Women Act, whether it be in the original form or with amendments. The only way the vision of victims' rights can be extended to everybody is if they can set aside politics and do what must be done.
Scott Turner is an assistant district attorney and candidate for district attorney in the Fifth Judicial District, which includes Summit County."

SandBoxBlogs: Summit Daily News "Scott Turner: Talking about sexual assault"
Scott Turner:
"April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month. First observed in 2001, the purpose is to promote awareness of sexual assault and campaign for its prevention. This year's theme is “It's time ... to talk about it.” And while it's something we don't want to think about actually occurring in our community, it is something we do need to face — and talk about. There are many myths which exist regarding sexual assault. I would like to talk about a few of those myths and the actual facts...." (Read more? Click title)

SandBox Comments: Vail Daily News "Clear Creek attorney jumps into DA race"
Great news for the 5th Judicial District. Bruce Brown is back for another try for D.A.
"EAGLE, Colorado — An attorney in Clear Creek County is the first to throw his hat in the ring for next year's district attorney race.
Bruce Brown, of Evergreen in Clear Creek County, announced the that he will run as a Democrat for the spot of district attorney for the 5th Judicial District, encompassing Eagle, Summit, Clear Creek and Lake counties.
Brown would bring 25 years of courtroom experience and trial skills to the job. He has argued almost 100 cases before juries, he said in his announcement. That experience, he said, will help him assure that crime victims are effectively represented in court, and that criminals are held accountable for their actions.
“Victims deserve to be confident in case outcomes in the hands of a compassionate and capable prosecutor,” Brown said. “Public safety should always be our first goal.”
Brown would replace Mark Hurlbert, who is term limited. Brown lost narrowly to Hurlbert in 2004, not long after Hurlbert was appointed to the job...."
