Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

NEW YORK  — An extraordinary moment in U.S. history is set to soon unfold in a Manhattan courthouse on Tuesday: Former President Donald Trump, who faces multiple election-related investigations, will surrender to face criminal charges stemming from 2016 hush money payments.The booking and arraignment are likely to be relatively brief — though hardly routine — as Trump is fingerprinted, learns the charges against him and pleads, as expected, not guilty. Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that TV cameras won’t be allowed in the courtroom.Trump, who was impeached twice by the U.S. House but was never convicted in the U.S. Senate, will become the first former president to face criminal charges. The nation’s 45th commander in chief will be escorted from Trump Tower to the courthouse by the Secret Service and may have his mug shot taken.Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina said Tuesday that Trump wouldn’t plead guilty to lesser charges, even if it might resolve the case. He said he didn’t believe the case...

The restaurant: La Fillette Bakery, 6217 E. 14th Ave., DenverAbout: La Fillette Bakery has reopened in a larger space in the Montclair neighborhood, less than two miles away from its previous location at 4416 E. 8th Ave., which it moved out of in February. Owner Keturah Fleming, who founded the French-inspired, from-scratch bakery in 2015, said she has been wanting to expand the business for the past couple of years so she could start a full-service brunch with booze. The business doubled its space from 1,000 to 2,400 square feet, adding a bar, a little patio and a bigger kitchen.“We tried to stay as close as we could in the neighborhood and find an existing structure that we could make our own, give us more space and bring back seating,” Fleming said.La Fillette’s brunch menu includes new sandwiches, like bahni mis, as well as classics like French toast and build-your-own breakfast croissant sandwiches.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

Calling all single Denverites: If you ever dreamed of getting engaged sight unseen, now is your chance.Netflix’s reality dating show “Love is Blind” is currently casting locals who are tired of looking for love based solely on physical attraction. Production company Kinetic Content, which reality TV fans can thank for gems like “Married at First Sight and “Claim to Fame,” posted on social media that it’s now casting singles “who are brave, open-minded and ready for a committed relationship” for seasons based in the Mile High City, Washington, D.C. and St. Paul.Billed as a “social experiment,” the premise of the show is to see if couples can build an emotional connection so strong that their feelings supersede any physical attributes. In fact, participants don’t even get to meet their potential partners face-to-face unless they get engaged first.Season four, based in Seattle, is currently airing with new episodes added to Netflix on Fridays through April 14.“Love is...

Opinion: Rooting for the lesser prairie chicken over the greater oil and gas industry

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

What I remember most about that dark early morning of crouching on the prairie is the rhythmic sound of pounding. It was so loud I wondered if someone had put a microphone near the skinny legs of the dozen birds dancing on the turf. As the sun rose above the horizon in southeastern New Mexico, the male lesser prairie chickens continued their ritual performance, each hoping to entice a female.They strutted, leaped in the air with feathers spread, and bowed, but the greatest thrill was watching them puff up the garish, red-orange air sacs on either side of their necks.Concealed in a blind, we watched late into the morning that spring of 1999, until the last birds — members of a rapidly vanishing species — flew off.I recalled that wonderful day recently, because in late March, after countless lawsuits and scientific opinions, the lesser prairie chicken in New Mexico, Colorado and eastwards finally got what it so desperately needs — federal protection under the Endangered Sp...

Letters: A primer for Trump supporters on how the U.S. justice system works

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

Have a little faith in the justice system, pleaseDonald Trump has been indicted and Republicans, predictably, have had a cow.  Apparently, some of them also falsely believe that the justice system is just as rigged and corrupt as the electoral system, which conspiracy theorists claim denied Donald Trump his overwhelming victory in the 2020 election.But the reality is that an indictment is not a conviction and there can be no presumption of Trump’s guilt. Since a criminal charge has been laid, the district attorney in Manhattan must prove “beyond a reasonable doubt” that Trump broke the law. The glory of our legal system is that Trump does not have to prove his innocence. So let Trump have his day in court, where twelve jurors will sit in judgment of the evidence, just like every other person in America indicted for a crime.Guy Wroble, DenverSpare us all from drunken passengersWith regard to airlines’ abusive passengers: Does it not occur to anyone but me that...

What to expect on Election Day in Denver

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

It’s municipal Election Day in Denver.By 7 p.m. Denverites will have at least a slightly better idea of who will be the city’s next mayor, what the next City Council will look like and if housing and other development will be allowed on the Park Hill golf course property.That doesn’t mean voters will have all the answers tonight. Many races could be too close to call including the mayor’s contest in which 16 candidates are vying to finish in the two top places and make it to a runoff election that would conclude on June 6.As of midday Monday, just 15.6% of ballots sent out in the election had been returned. If turnout is 40% among registered voters, as it was in the city’s last municipal election in 2019, that means Denver election officials will have a lot of ballots to process today.The first batch of unofficial results will be released at 7 p.m., according to the city’s election division. Counting is unlikely to be finished tonight, according t...

New distillery on the block: Plans for a former RiNo salvage yard add to Walnut Street development

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

A drive down Walnut Street in Denver’s River North Art District shows the neighborhood in a state of flux – popular businesses sit next to properties for lease, while construction teams toil on new sites. One developer plans to add to the district’s new vision by transforming an old salvage yard into a distillery, beer garden and more.On Friday morning, Mike Mathieson, president of Forbes Partnership, walked around the future site of The Yota Yard at 3134 Walnut St., pointing out a 19th-century steel mill that he plans to restore as RiNo Distillery.“This is probably my favorite project,” said Mathieson, who owns other properties in the area. “It’s just very unique.”The RiNo neighborhood sits at a precarious crossroads within the city’s broader discourse about real estate development. On one hand, Denver’s suffering through a housing crisis, with a shortage of affordable living spaces that leave residents burned by rising prices. ...

As evictions spike, Colorado Democrats seek to open courts to virtual participation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:13:28 GMT

As evictions in Colorado spike to pre-pandemic highs, thousands of low-income tenants may soon be able to virtually attend and contest looming evictions under a bill that passed the Colorado House in late March.HB23-1186 would allow tenants to attend court hearings virtually and to respond to property owners’ filings digitally. The measure, which passed the House on a comfortable, party-line vote on March 20, also has provisions governing how to handle a tenant who disconnects from a virtual hearing.The bill would have far-reaching impacts: More than 7,800 residents — 80% of them indigent — would participate in their own eviction cases that they otherwise wouldn’t have, according to a fiscal analysis of the bill using state Judicial Department data. That’s significant, advocates say, because tenants often have no representation in eviction proceedings and typically don’t participate, meaning they lose by default.“If you are facing an evictio...
