It has been a somewhat 'heavy' day in the world of Colorado crime news. Tossing these stories up at the tail end of the day keeps the posting a little lighter tomorrow...maybe.
In this story, we've been following the path of Robert Dewey. A free man, after 16 years wrongly accused, convicted, sentenced and imprisoned in the death of Jacie Taylor.
