CENTENNIAL, Colo.—A judge has dismissed a lawsuit accusing Arapahoe County District Attorney Carol Chambers and a prosecutor of blacklisting a counselor who testified for a man in a child sexual abuse case.
U.S. District Judge Robert E. Blackburn dismissed the case Sept. 1 with prejudice, meaning plaintiff Kris Newland cannot bring up the case again.
Attorneys for both sides asked for the dismissal after evidence gathered by both parties found no wrongdoing.
Newland testified for a man accused of child sexual abuse who was later acquitted. Her lawsuit alleged Chambers’ office sought to refuse case referrals to Newland after Newland’s testimony. Chambers’ office denied the allegation.
