The Steamboat Today, 17 Nov 2012 – Petty is the word of the week in Routt County, describing both the minor marijuana infractions that local law enforcement officers appropriately no longer are citing, as well as the draconian decision of 14th Judicial District Attorney Brett Barkey to move forward with prosecution of pot cases still in the judicial system. Barkey’s announcement Thursday that his office will continue to prosecute the handful of petty marijuana possession cases pending in the 14th Judicial District’s three counties – Routt, Moffat and Grand – – appears to be a spiteful decision by a man who was a vocal opponent of Amendment 64. We hope judges in the 14th Judicial District do a better job respecting the will of the people than Barkey is.
