Richard Rosenthal is Denver’s former independent police monitor. (Kathryn Scott Osler, Denver Post file)
Re: “Jury rejects discrimination suit; Ex-investigator for watchdog made claims against boss,” Feb. 19 news story.
If you want to distill the Denver sex discrimination and retaliation lawsuit involving the Office of the Independent Monitor down to a sound bite, it would be “David vs. Goliath.”
The pursuit of this federal case began with the United States Equal Opportunity Commission ruling finding probable cause that Valerie Arnold [who was fired by former Independent Monitor Richard Rosenthal] had been retaliated against. For those of us who have been following this case over the last four years, it is a story of the city using all of its resources to personally attack an individual who was legally pursuing her experience of injustice.
The jury did the best job they could with the limited information that was allowed into this court case. Someday, this experience will make a great book.
