The Colorado woman who was hit by a train after police officers locked her inside a patrol vehicle that was parked on railroad tracks in Weld County says the memory loss she suffered in the crash should block the criminal case against her.Yareni Rios-Gonzalez, 21, was stopped by Fort Lupton and Platteville police officers on Sept. 16 after a 911 caller told dispatchers that she’d flashed a gun at him during a road rage incident. Officers took Rios-Gonzalez into custody and then locked her in the back of a police vehicle that was parked on train tracks near U.S. 85 and Weld County Road 38.The officers then failed to move the police SUV or help Rios-Gonzalez as a train bore down on the vehicle, horn blaring, and as Rios-Gonzalez screamed for help. The train hit the SUV with Rios-Gonzalez inside. She suffered significant injuries that included broken ribs, broken and dislocated wrists, a punctured lung, a broken leg, a traumatic brain injury and amnesia, according to the 28-page ...Charges against Aurora parents in co-sleeping death of 2-day-old baby draw condemnation from pregnancy justice groups

The criminal case of an Aurora couple charged in the co-sleeping death of their 2-day-old baby has spurred outcry from state reproductive justice groups who describe the prosecution as part of a growing trend across the country in which pregnant and postpartum people are facing more criminalization.Brittany Diekneit, 27, and her husband Sean Byrne, 26, are each facing a felony charge of child abuse resulting in death. Diekneit and baby Walker returned home from the hospital on Sept. 22, and Walker died sometime that night or early morning. In April, three months after the autopsy was completed, arrest warrants were issued for the pair. The Aurora police arrest affidavits allege that the couple was drinking alcohol before sharing a bed with the baby and “ignored the substantial and unjustifiable risk of co-sleeping with Walker while being incapacitated and they were thus unable to check on him.”The 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office also upped the detective...Studio City Starbucks removes customer seating citing safety issues
