A double standard?
Prosecutors
plan to drop the murder charge filed against an unlicensed security
guard who shot and killed a man in 2020 following dueling rallies in
downtown Denver because they don’t believe they can overcome the
security guard’s claim that he acted in self-defense.
Matthew
Dolloff, 32, shot and killed Lee Keltner, 49, on Oct. 10, 2020, during a
confrontation between the pair toward the end of two opposing political
rallies in Denver’s Civic Center. One demonstration featured conservative “Patriot Rally” attendees. That group was met by left-leaning counter-protesters.
Dolloff’s
attorney, Doug Richards, said prosecutors with the Denver District
Attorney’s Office told him they intend to dismiss the second-degree
murder case at the pre-trial conference scheduled for March 21. A jury
trial was scheduled to begin April 12.
