Former fire chief sentencing on June 24 - two ways to submit your Victim Impact Statement

Victims of these multiple crimes, including the citizens and taxpayers of Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District, have a right to testify at sentencing or provide written statements to the judge. We ask you to let the judge know how these crimes have impacted you, the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District, and the volunteer firefighters, EMTs and paramedics who serve you. You can provide your thoughts in two ways: Written Victim Statements can be mailed to the judge: The Honorable Jeffrey R Pilkington 1st Judicial District Judge 100 Jefferson County Parkway Golden CO 80401 You can also attend the sentencing and choose to speak at the sentencing: Tuesday June 24, 2014 3:00 PM Division 3 Jefferson County Courthouse 100 Jefferson County Parkway Golden CO 80401 Victim Impact Statements: Victim impact statements are written or oral information from crime victims, in their own words, about how a crime has affected them. Colorado allows victim impact statements at sentencing. The purpose of victim impact statements is to allow crime victims, during the decision-making process on sentencing, to describe to the court the impact of the crime. A judge may use information from these statements to help determine the offender's sentence. Victim impact statements may provide information about damage to victims that would otherwise have been unavailable to courts. The former chief has pleaded guilty to these three felonies: Two counts of Theft-$20,000 or More F3 and one count of Embezzlement of Public Property F5.
