Colorado to continue prosecuting kids as young as 10 after plan to raise age fails on legislature’s last day
Colorado will continue to prosecute kids as young as 10 years old after a plan to raise the age to 13 failed for the second year in a row at the state Capitol. The proposal — opposed by police officers, district attorneys and state child welfare officials — made it through the House after an emotional debate but stalled in the Senate after about 10 hours of battle over multiple days.
