News summary

Linda Stanley, the district attorney for Colorado's 11th Judicial District, has been disbarred following her handling of the high-profile Barry Morphew murder case. The Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel cited her 'dereliction of duty,' detailing multiple violations including making prejudicial statements to the media and investigating the presiding judge without sufficient evidence. The disciplinary ruling described her actions as akin to a 'ship's captain who never appeared on the bridge,' emphasizing her lack of oversight during critical phases of the prosecution. In addition to the Morphew case, Stanley faced scrutiny for her conduct in other cases, leading to a loss of trust in her integrity as a prosecutor. The decision to disbar Stanley reflects broader concerns about the accountability of prosecutors in Colorado. Despite her claims of resource constraints in her rural district, the ruling firmly holds her accountable for her professional responsibilities.
