Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty and Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser will address town hall to discuss the threat of social media and AI chatbots to children.

Students at Colorado Mesa University and community members gathered to discuss immigration rights and the challenges many families face in the latest Know Your Rights event featuring Boulder County DA Michael Dougherty. “The original idea for this event was to get a lot of student voices together to talk about their anxieties with immigration, what might have happened to them and their family, experiences that they may have had," said Alex Austin, President of Political Science Club at CMU.

Arrests made throughout the metro Denver area on Wednesday resolved 190 open cases and brought to a halt what Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty called “a massive crime ring.”

Instead of focusing on the tragedy of the King Soopers mass shooting, the ways the community responded are what give meaning to the work of securing justice for victims. In this interview with Mardi Moore of Rocky Mountain Equality, Michael shares how a boy named Gill joined other local restaurants and businesses to provide food and comfort to grieving family members.

Although others are now seeking credit for prosecuting Tina Peters, Mesa County District Attorney Dan Rubinstein and two Assistant Attorneys General successfully tried the case together. Experience matters, especially when handling serious cases.

“Thousands of people suffered devastating losses from the Marshall Fire. It has been incredible to see the victims and community members rally around each other, rebuild, and recover,” said District Attorney Michael Dougherty. “But, for some, the trauma and financial losses remain incredibly difficult. It is our hope that any settlement will allow all those impacted to continue to recover and rebuild.”

Dougherty also addressed his experience in training businesses on how to deal with immigrant protection and rights when ICE and federal forces try to take away civil liberties. He showed the same willingness as current AG Phil Weisner to file lawsuits to protect Colorado’s citizens and interests when the federal government has intentions to overreach into the lives of Colorado’s people.

Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty, who served on the trial team in the 2021 Mark Redwine murder case, visited Durango this week during his campaign for Colorado attorney general. The visit was part of his summer’s Know Your Rights tour across Colorado, featuring seminars on hate crimes, gun laws, and immigration.

The driver, who struck and killed young rising cycling champion Magnus White will serve 4 years in Colorado's Department of Corrections. Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty began sentencing, urging the judge to impose the maximum penalty. “This is not the first vehicular homicide sentencing I've stood before the court on. These cannot continue this way. The deterrent factor is significant,” said Dougherty.

The man accused of attacking a group of demonstrators with Molotov Cocktails on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall returned to court on Thursday, where prosecutors charged him with 118 criminal counts. “The charges reflect the evidence that we have regarding this horrific attack that took place, and the seriousness of it,” said Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty.

Soechtig, along with two other parents, brought their concerns to Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty, leading to a state investigation into multiple instances of Four Star Realty unlawfully withholding money from its tenants’ security deposits and charging unfair and deceptive fees.

​​“You can tell by having the three of us on this call and by looking at Michael’s endorsement list that Colorado’s District Attorneys are invested in who our attorney general is,” Adams County District Attorney Brian Mason said. “We need somebody in the attorney general’s office who gets it, and Michael Dougherty gets it.”

District Attorney Brian Mason, representing Colorado’s 17th Judicial District serving Adams and Broomfield Counties, announced that he is endorsing Michael Dougherty in his campaign for Attorney General of Colorado. Mason joins a dozen current and former Colorado District Attorneys in endorsing Dougherty and his campaign.

The bill targets social media users who illegally sell drugs and firearms or attempt to sex traffic on the platform. “No one sells fentanyl to a kid online just once and then decides the next day, ‘You know what? I’m never going to do that again.’ This is repeated conduct,” said Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty. 

As Boulder County’s top prosecutor, Dougherty led the prosecution of the man accused of the 2021 King Soopers mass shooting. His office also helmed the probe into the cause of the Marshall fire.

The man who shot and killed 10 people in a Boulder, Colorado, grocery store in 2021 has been given 10 life sentences plus another 1,334 years in state prison on top of that. Boulder District Attorney Michael Dougherty said, “nothing will repair the harm, damage, and trauma that the defendant inflicted upon the victims' families.”
