The man accused of killing five people at a gay club in Colorado Springs was arrested for felony menacing and kidnapping in 2021, but the charges were later dropped.
after members of the suspect’s family refused to cooperate, the district attorney said Thursday.
Judge Robin Chittum said the "profound" public interest in the case outweighed Aldrich's privacy rights. The judge added that scrutiny of judicial cases is "foundational to our system of government."Veteran helped disarm shooter at Colorado gay club: ‘It’s the reflex’ Aldrich was booked into jail on suspicion of felony menacing and kidnapping. The case was later dropped, and officials have refused to speak about it, citing a state law that calls for dismissed cases to be sealed.
Aldrich then pointed a Glock handgun at the grandparents as they pleaded for their lives and said, "You guys die today … I’m loaded and ready." Aldrich also was the subject of a tip received by the FBI a day before the bomb threat. Agents closed out the case just weeks later.Under Colorado law, records are automatically sealed when a case is dropped and defendants are not prosecuted, as happened in Aldrich’s 2021 case. Once sealed, officials cannot acknowledge that the records exist, and the process to unseal the documents initially happens behind closed doors with no docket to follow and an unnamed judge.
