Passing the Buck(s) in Denver, Part II

Here's an interesting piece found related to an earlier post about a Denver D.A. who had discovered some clever accounting to cover the high costs of death penalty cases in Colorado:

A judge has ordered the removal of 18th Judicial District Attorney Carol Chambers in the upcoming trial of an inmate accused of killing another prisoner...

The judge says there are also questions about how Chambers' office is being reimbursed by the state through the Department of Corrections for prosecution costs.
