Getting your player ready...
For 12 years, Colorado has had a fund to protect state witnesses from harm.
During that time, at least 16 witnesses and associates have been murdered
and more than 2,000 felony crimes have been committed against witnesses.
Many people in danger were not even aware that there is a witness protection
program in place.
Is Colorado’s witness protection program adequately funded or even working?
For three days, The Denver Post examines the people and the problems involved in
our state’s witness protection program. We look at the victims, their families and
the resources required to protect them from a problem so large and a system so
broken, it threatens our entire judicial process.
Don’t miss Dying to Testify Sunday through Tuesday
in The Denver Post and online at denverpost.com.
