One would think that an editor of a paper like this would be aware that colorado has a Make My Day Law. And thus do some follow up. [I am available to fact check] Hence do some follow up and thus find this: Karen Elaine Cordova was released from Weld County Jail late Thursday and the district attorney's office announced that no charges will be filed against Cordova at this time, however the investigation remains open, according to The Denver Post. from: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/06/16/karen-elaine-cordova-arre_n_878061.html

Note the date of this from SATURDAY!!!
