Jury urged to convict former Colorado deputy of murder in Christian Glass shooting
DENVER (AP) — Prosecutors on Wednesday urged jurors to convict a former Colorado sheriff’s deputy of murder and other charges for shooting and killing a 22-year-old man in distress after they say the deputy needlessly escalated a standoff with him. The 2022 death of Christian Glass in a small mountain community drew national attention and prompted calls for police reforms focused on crisis intervention. A second officer indicted in Glass’ death previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor. Six other officers have been charged with failing to intervene. In the closing arguments of Andrew Buen’s trial, the defense argued that Buen shot Glass to protect a fellow officer, which made the shooting legally justified. Buen’s lawyer, Carrie Slinkard, said he had not comitted a crime. Glass called 911 for help after his SUV became stuck on a dirt road in Silver Plume. He told a dispatcher he was being followed and made other statements suggesting he was paranoid, hallucinating or delusional, and experiencing a mental health crisis, according to the indictments.

In closing arguments of Christian Glass homicide trial, prosecutors say Glass was ‘tortured’ by law enforcement while defense describes an armed man driving under the influence
Prosecutors on Thursday said they didn’t blame Christian Glass for refusing to get out of his own car in the last hour of his life. In closing arguments to a jury in Georgetown in the trial of Andrew Buen, the former sheriff’s deputy charged in the 22-year-old Boulder man’s homicide, Fifth Judicial District Attorney Heidi McCollum compared Glass to an animal in a cage, who was poked, prodded and tortured by law enforcement.
