- He said the state 'owe[s] it to his family to take this step' and warned that charges could be brought against the cops involved
- AG Phil Weiser has been designated special prosecutor to the case
- This comes after Colorado DA Dave Young defended his decision to not charge three Aurora Police Department officers over the fatal arrest
