Adam Frisch, Democrat candidate for Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District, is calling for President Biden to step aside following the recent Presidential Debate. Frisch made his comments public in a video posted on his X account. Frisch’s comments echo a growing concern among Democrats over Biden’s ability to lead the country. Frisch, who narrowly lost his bid for Congress last election against Republican Lauren Boebert, will face Republican Jeff Hurd from Grand Junction in the General Election this November.
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the sentences of former Montrose funeral home operators Megan Hess and her mother Shirley Koch, reports the Montrose Daily Press. The previous owners of Sunset Mesa Funeral Directors and Donor Services were previously sentenced to 20 and 15 years, respectively, for mail fraud related to the sale and transport of human remains. The appeals court found several errors in the lower court's sentencing, including improper determination of losses and failure to provide evidence that purchasers of body parts suffered financial losses. The court also noted that the sentencing enhancement for the number of vulnerable victims and the sophisticated means used in the scheme was not adequately supported. Hess and Koch will be re-sentenced at a future date.
