DENVER | A man who was among the first officers to respond to the Aurora restaurant where four people were slain in 1993 says the convicted killer should be executed.
Dan Jones, who is now retired, tells KUSA-TV in Denver (https://on9news.tv/11cbHk4 ) that Gov. John Hickenlooper “passed the buck” when he granted Nathan Dunlap an indefinite reprieve from execution Wednesday. Hickenlooper stopped short of granting Dunlap clemency, which would have spared him the death penalty.
A new governor could revisit Dunlap’s case.
Jones says Dunlap should pay the consequences of killing four people and wounding one at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant after hours.
Bobby Stephens was the lone survivor. He tells KCNC-TV in Denver he feels Dunlap has received more rights than the slain victims.
I agree with Dan Jones and Bobby Stephens. Colorado residents pay the Governor to make decisions–whether easy or difficult–and he failed miserably. Shame on him.
Hickenlooper made an easy, spineless decision. How would his decision have been made if it were his children? The death penalty is not a deterrent? It will be for Dunlap. Remember this next election cycle!
