Colorado 知事 haunted by links to 刑務所,拘置所 長,指導者 殺人,大当り

DENVER (AP) ― Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper listened as an 捜査官/調査官 申し込む/申し出d 詳細(に述べる)s about the 殺人 of one of his 閣僚 members, a 是正s 長,指導者 he 雇うd to 改革(する) the 明言する/公表する's 刑務所,拘置所s who had also become a の近くに friend.

As the 州警察官,騎馬警官 flashed photo after photo on a 発射/推定 審査する, a wave of nausea washed over the 知事. It was a mugshot of the 殺し屋 he すぐに 認めるd. He was the son of another の近くに friend.

Three years after that 緊張した 要点説明 in his office, Hickenlooper has said little 公然と about the March 2013 暗殺 of 刑務所,拘置所s director Tom Clements by a 誤った 仮釈放(する)d member of a white supremacist 刑務所,拘置所 ギャング(団), even as questions ぐずぐず残る.

In his candid, newly 解放(する)d autobiography, Hickenlooper, a dark horse to be the Democratic 副/悪徳行為 大統領の 指名された人, 解任するd the first time he realized he was the one who led the murderous son of one の近くに friend to the doorstep of another.

"Here, now, were ... two of my friends, intersecting in this horror," Hickenlooper wrote in his autobiography.

Hickenlooper met 静かに this month with 検察官,検事s and 郡保安官's 公式の/役人s, who told him they have begun の近くにing the 事例/患者.

The 殺し屋 died in a shootout with lawmen in Texas, but the 事例/患者 remains dogged by 憶測 that he didn't 行為/法令/行動する alone. That was 生き返らせるd by 文書s recently 解放(する)d by Texas 当局 showing they believed, at least for a time, that Evan Ebel was doing the bidding of higher-ups in his white supremacist 刑務所,拘置所 ギャング(団) when he 発射 Clements dead at his 前線 door.

Yet the 捜査官/調査官s in 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 of the 事例/患者 for the past year-and-a-half 主張する it was the work of a 孤独な 銃器携帯者/殺しや who is dead.

Ebel, 28, was the son of Jack Ebel, a 郊外の Denver 弁護士/代理人/検事 who worked with Hickenlooper at an oil company when Hickenlooper was a geologist. The two stayed の近くに as Hickenlooper went on to become a brewpub owner, and then Denver's 市長 and Colorado's 知事. And Hickenlooper has said he knew Jack Ebel had been troubled by his son's time in 刑務所,拘置所.

Hickenlooper had just given a eulogy for Clements when he went to dinner with Maximillian Potter, a Denver reporter who became Hickenlooper's マスコミ 助言者 and helped him 令状 the memoir.

"He looked like a ghost. He looked incredibly 傷つける, and he looked 負傷させるd," Potter told The Associated 圧力(をかける). Over the years, "he felt 有罪の that, because of him, more or いっそう少なく, Tom is in town. If Tom's not the 長,率いる of the Department of 是正s, Tom doesn't become his friend, and Tom doesn't get killed."

Hickenlooper 拒絶する/低下するd to comment for this story, as did Clements' 未亡人 Lisa. Jack Ebel could not すぐに be reached.

"I can't talk about this," Hickenlooper told reporters after a 最近の news 会議/協議会, his 発言する/表明する rising. "I know too many things, and they can be misconstrued in a million different ways."

Jack Ebel 証言するd before the Colorado 立法機関 in 2011 that he believed 独房監禁 was destroying his son's psyche. When Hickenlooper was interviewing Clements, then a Missouri 是正s 公式の/役人, for the 最高の,を越す 刑務所,拘置所s 職業 in Colorado, he について言及するd his friend's son as an example of why the 刑務所,拘置所 system needed 改革(する).

Once Clements (機の)カム to Colorado, he 緩和するd the use of 独房監禁 confinement and tried to make it easier for people housed there to re-enter society.

No one has 公式に 明らかにする/漏らすd Ebel's 動機 for 遂行する/発効させるing Clements. First, he killed Nathan Leon, a father of three who was working as a pizza 配達/演説/出産 driver to make extra money. Two days later, wearing Leon's 支配's uniform, Ebel 発射 Clements dead when he answered the 前線 door of his home.

At the time of t he 殺人s, Evan Ebel should still have been in 刑務所,拘置所. Already there for a 一連の 有罪の判決s, he was 宣告,判決d to an 付加 four years for 強襲,強姦ing a 刑務所,拘置所 officer. But a clerical error made it 不明瞭な the 宣告,判決s were supposed to be served 支援する-to-支援する, and 公式の/役人s 扱う/治療するd the 宣告,判決s as 同時の, 許すing Ebel to walk out of 刑務所,拘置所 in January 2013. He was on 仮釈放(する) just two months before he slipped out of his ankle bracelet 監視する and 始める,決める out to kill the 刑務所,拘置所s 長,指導者.

After 殺人,大当り Clements, Ebel fled to Texas in his 黒人/ボイコット 1991 Cadillac DeVille, in which 当局 later 設立する lye and 麻薬を吸う 爆弾-making 構成要素s, a 調書をとる/予約する about white 最高位, directions to Clements' home and the 指名するs of other Colorado 公式の/役人s.

追加するing a new 層 of 混乱, the 郡保安官's 公式の/役人s who oversaw the 調査(する) at its 手始め 辞職するd and were 起訴するd in May on ゆすり,強要 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金s. The lead 捜査官/調査官 監督するing the Clements 事例/患者 was の中で those 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金d.

El Paso 郡 郡保安官 法案 年上の, who is 現在/一般に in 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 of the 調査, said he 計画(する)s to の近くに it. 年上の 解任するd the 77-page 報告(する)/憶測 解放(する)d by the Texas Department of Public Safety, written by one of its 特別奇襲隊員s, 説 it was taken in the 混乱させるing days after the 殺人,大当り, and that years of その上の 調査 設立する no 証拠 of a ギャング(団) 共謀.

"We have had countless people looking at this 事例/患者," 年上の told The Associated 圧力(をかける) 事前の to 会合 with Hickenlooper. "If there was physical 証拠 of a 共謀 we would be on that like white on rice."

年上の said that when he took office in January 2015, he had a team of 捜査官/調査官s go over every lead and every piece of 証拠. A 選び出す/独身 捜査官/調査官 remains 割り当てるd to the 事例/患者.

Hickenlooper has not said whether he has 疑問 s about the 扱うing of the 調査 that would 誘発する him to use his 当局 to 任命する the 弁護士/代理人/検事 general as a special 検察官,検事, a rare move.

"All he could do is run the 明言する/公表する as he 普通は would and let the 調査 play out," Potter said. "And 個人として grieve for one of his closest friends, and for a father who lost a son."
