CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — A Doberman breeder in Clear Creek County who was found deceased on his property last summer denied selling the murder suspect a puppy, according to a preliminary hearing held Friday morning, where authorities also shared grisly details about the discovery of his body.
Denver7 listened to the hearing on Friday morning, which was held in Clear Creek County court.
During a preliminary hearing, a judge must listen to witnesses’ answers to questions presented by the prosecution and the defense. At the end of these hearings, a judge will decide if there is sufficient probable cause to believe the defendant committed the crime. If the judge finds this, the case moves forward. Preliminary hearings are not trials.
In this case, Judge Cynthia Jones found enough probable cause on all six counts.
