Denver District Attorney Beth McCann makes a historic trip into the Inner Sanctum of Craig’s Lawyers’ Lounge. She’s about to conclude two terms and will be stepping off the public stage, but not without some public expressions, as you will hear. https://www.denverda.org/about/office-leadership/
Beth McCann is a trailblazing figure in Denver's legal landscape. She was sworn in as the city's first female District Attorney on January 10, 2017. Her journey to this historic position reflects groundbreaking achievements and a commitment to public service. https://counciloncj.org/team/beth-mccann/
McCann spent her childhood moving frequently due to her father's career as an Army colonel, including stints in Japan and Taiwan. Inspired by feminist role models, she pursued higher education to establish a career. McCann graduated magna cum laude from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.
Former President Trump is now stirring up hate against lawful Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and he’s telling lies about Aurora, Colorado. McCann assures us that Denver law enforcement will be ready if Trump comes to our neighboring city of Aurora.
Like California AG-Elect Kamala Harris, who was also elected on the first Tuesday of November 2016, Denver DA-Elect Beth McCann felt queasy about our country despite achieving her lifetime pinnacle job. Eight years later, Beth McCann has voluntarily surrendered power to her successor, John Walsh (Ep 193), whom she endorsed.
McCann's legal journey began at Georgetown University Law School in 1971, where she was one of only a handful of women in her class. After graduating in 1974, she moved to Denver, becoming only the second female law clerk for Colorado's U.S. District Court Judge Sherman G. Finesilver.
McCann served as a deputy and then Chief Deputy District Attorney in Denver from 1975 to 1982, prosecuting hundreds of cases. In the early 1990s, McCann became Denver's first female Manager of Safety under Mayor Wellington Webb.
McCann served as Deputy Attorney General for Civil Litigation and Employment Law for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office for eight years. McCann was a four-term state representative for HD 8 in Denver, focusing on criminal justice matters and health care reform.
McCann has long been a strong advocate for women in the legal profession. She is a founding member and former president of the Colorado Women's Bar Association, and she explains why most of her new hires are female prosecutors.
Kamala Harris’s virtues as a fellow big-city prosecutor are extolled. Beth and Kamala have inevitably faced specific difficult everyday top prosecutor experiences. We agree that Tim Walz is a fine man and educator. We talk with Denver DA McCann about character and leadership.
McCann explains her recent decision no charges will be filed in connection with a deadly shooting in July at an apartment near the University of Denver. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/du-apartment-intruder-shot-killed/73-a62f1a45-d7ce-49ed-a055-907d65887ed5
According to Denver Police, a resident returned to their apartment inside One Observatory Park around 1 a.m. on July 21 and was startled by an intruder. The apartment building is on East Evans Avenue, just east of South University Boulevard.
We discuss how Kamala Harris said she’d shoot any intruder into her family home. Beth McCann explains the burden of proof on prosecutors and how she’s made thousands of such decisions.
Show Troubadour Dave Gunders plays hurt, coming off the recovery table from knee replacement surgery and offering his toe-tapping song "Some Days." Some days this week started off bad for NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who had nasty laundry exposed. It could not happen in a better swing state.
The host starts the show by decrying Trump’s blaming of the Jews in case he does not get elected. Is he talking to Craig? It appears so. What’s he going to do about it? Have friends extract retribution? WTF. Kamala continues to be calm and bright. This episode is hopeful.
