Lisl Auman Loses Appeal
Word just reached us that Lisl Auman has lost her appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals of her felony murder conviction and life sentence. Here is the opinion. We haven't read the decision yet, but will certainly have some comments later. Lisl was in police custody at the time of the crime and yet she serves a lifetime prison term. The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed an Amicus (friend of court) brief on her behalf.
In the meantime, here is our prior coverage of the case from our sister site Crimelynx.
Also look for journalist Hunter Thompson who has been a big supporter of Lisl to have some excoriating comments about the decision. And check out Lisl's website as well.
