DENVER — This summer marked the 30-year anniversary of “The Summer of Violence”, a name given to a months-long time frame in Denver in 1993 that was defined by youth violence, dozens of deaths, and dozens of teens that were given life sentences.
James Miller was born in Denver’s Park Hill neighborhood and said the Summer of ’93 was the pinnacle of his gang activities. “During my trial I was found not guilty of first degree murder, convicted of attempted aggravated robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and first degree assault. I was given 64 years all together,” Miller said. “I have remorse for the family and for the victim but you know everyone looks at me and says you did this but I didn’t do this crime,” Miller said. “People don’t understand, jail is a different world, you got people in there that’s never coming home.
He started to reflect on what made the summer of ’93 different from other summers that saw more deaths. Price said it’s upsetting to see those convicted of crimes stemming from 90’s gang violence get released from prison.
