Here's a closer look at what's been happening inside the courtroom of the Colorado school shooting case
Devon Erickson, 18, accused in a shooting May 7 at a Colorado charter school that left one classmate dead and eight others wounded, appears in court in Castle Rock, Colo., on May 8.
Prosecutors said both would be tried as adults. McKinney's attorney, Ara Ohanian, said she would seek to move his case back to juvenile court. McKinney appeared in court after Erickson. He glanced back several times during the hearing toward the bench where his mother was sitting.“It would have been easy for them to say, ‘I'm not going to make it to court today because in less than two hours we’re going to have a memorial service for our son,’” Dist. Atty. George Brauchler said of Castillo’s parents.
“This is a witness in the case, and I felt like in the abundance of caution that a decision about the facts related to the security guard needed to be addressed by a separate prosecutor,” Brachler said. Castillo and classmates Brendan Bialy and Joshua Jones were credited with helping minimize the bloodshed by charging at one of the suspects in a classroom.
