Sentencing of former councilman Brent Metz draws criticism from some Coloradans
Brent Metz was sentenced to four years of probation and 120 hours of community service after being convicted of shooting a 17-year-old teenager. The lenient sentence drew public criticism, with a judge citing Metz's clean criminal history and possible accidental discharge as reasons for avoiding prison time. Metz's attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial, potentially delaying closure for the victims.
