Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:28:47 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog sees a much clearer path back to the ice, even if he's not expected to play this season.That's how encouraged he is 4 and a half months removed from cartilage replacement surgery on his right knee. Coach Jared Bednar is just as optimistic, which is why he won't name a new captain for the upcoming season. The team will wait until Landeskog's return and in the meantime rely on the leadership of Cale Makar, Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. CU Buffs fans are giving the Broncos a run for their money “First and foremost, I feel really good,” Landeskog said Wednesday on the eve of training camp. “It’s been a really good process so far. It’s been obviously hard at times and other times you make more progress than not."Still, with hockey starting up, it's been a little difficult. He's yet to start skating, and may not get clearance until a visit with his surgeon in November.“It sucks not being a part of it,” Landeskog...

Denver to clear 8th Avenue homeless camp, move people to a hotel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:28:47 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Denver has given notice that it'll clear out an encampment near Governors Park in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.The area affected includes one square block bordered by Seventh and Eighth avenues and Logan and Grant streets. A 7-day notice was posted on Tuesday, meaning the camp will be cleared out by Sept. 26."What differentiates this from previous postings and cleanups is the huge effort of wraparound services being provided during the 7-day posting period, and more importantly, the connection of individuals living in the encampment directly to housing resources," Clarissa Boggs-Blake, manager of Denver's Joint Information Center, told FOX31 in an email.The JIC has been active as part of Mayor Mike Johnston's emergency declaration on homelessness. As part of the plan, his administration intends to house 1,000 unhoused people by the end of the year. Denver 2024 budget: What’s Mayor Johnston spending $1.74B on?

Officers on trial ignored Elijah McClain's pleas of 'I can't breathe,' prosecutors say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:28:47 GMT

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Two Denver-area police officers who put Elijah McClain in a neck hold ignored his pleas of “I can’t breathe” before the Black man was injected by paramedics with a powerful sedative and died, prosecutors said Wednesday, as a trial began over the 2019 confrontation that became a rallying cry for protests and spurred police reform.In opening arguments for the first of several trials stemming from McClain's death, lawyers for the two sides painted contrasting pictures of the fatal struggle after he was stopped by police in Aurora. Biden admin grants protection to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans Officers Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt approached McClain, a 23-year-old massage therapist, as he walked home from a convenience store carrying only a plastic bag with three cans of iced tea and his phone. A 911 caller had reported him as “sketchy.”If prosecutors can convince jurors the Aug. 24, 2019 stop was unjustified, that would undermine any argument that ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:28:47 GMT

Acting Transportation Secretary Monica Tibbits-Nutt informed state officials at a meeting Wednesday that the Healey administration is beginning to plan for the “eventual replacement” of the Tobin Bridge, one of the most highly traveled routes in the state and a gateway linking Boston and communities north of the city.Tibbits-Nutt said a request for proposals could be released as soon as Friday seeking a transportation planning and engineering consultant that would work on a study examining options for the replacement of the bridge.Major changes are not imminent, and Tibbits-Nutt suggested the study alone could take two years.

Man who posed as doctor to sexually assault women gets probation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:28:47 GMT

SAN DIEGO -- A judge has sentenced Dario Moscoso to two years' probation in the sexual assault case against four women.  Prosecutors said from 2017 to 2019, Moscoso posed as a doctor at his Del Mar Cosmetic Contouring Surgery clinic in order to sexually assault the four women.  In a controversial plea deal, Moscoso was able to walk out of a courtroom with a two-year probation sentence for inappropriately touching four women.  The judge agreed to the probation sentence because she said it seemed Moscoso took responsibility, but said in the courtroom he had a credibility issue after what he wrote in his probation report.  “Sir, do you accept probation on those terms and conditions?” San Diego County Superior Court judge Polly Shamoon asked Moscoso.  “Yes, your honor, OK,” answered Dario Moscoso, sentenced to two-year probation for sexual assault allegations.  “He accuses the victims of being the liars, and that he was the one that was framed on bogus charges. He’s claiming that i...
