Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Twenty-two years ago, Robert Ray Courtney (Inmate Register #14636-045) was convicted of diluting chemotherapy drugs for more than 4,000 patients.
