Today a jury found former President
Donald Trump liable for sexually
abusing at writer and defaming
eg, Carroll back in 1996.
Jury also awarded Carroll $5 million.
Carol had also accused Trump of ****** her.
The jury, though,
did not find him liable for that.
He did find him liable for
the rest of the counts though.
The defamation argument came
from Trump denying her claims.
Trump's attorneys brought no
witnesses during their defense.
Trump himself, of course,
did not testify,
and the jury only took a few hours
to reach a unanimous verdict.
Carol did not say anything.
After the courtroom exited today,
Trump blasted the verdict,
though on social media he
called the verdict A disgrace.
A police officer in Aurora has retired
before the department could fire her.
Julie, thank you will keep her police
certification and could still become
an officer in another department.
She was convicted late last year of
violating an order of protection stemming
from an alleged domestic violence incident.
9 News reporter Matt Jablo
is following the story,
and he joins us with more Matt Kim
This all started in November of 2021
when Aurora police officer Julie
Stanky was charged with assault and
disturbing the peace after a dispute
involving Stanky's estranged spouse.
Court documents say the two
were in the middle of a divorce.
Days later, Denver police arrested Stanky
a second time for violating A restraining
order after she went to the house.
For She and her spouse had been
living to retrieve her truck.
Late last year,
a judge found Stanky guilty of violating
the restraining order and sentenced her
to one year of supervised probation.
The judge dropped the assault
charge against Stanky.
Then, about two weeks ago,
the Aurora Police Department's
Internal Affairs Bureau presented
the results of its investigation
to interim Chief Art Acevedo,
who placed Stanky on paid
administrative leave and advised
her that he planned to fire her.
Stanky's predisciplinary hearing was
scheduled for 1:00 o'clock last Tuesday.
A little more than an hour
before that hearing,
she submitted a written notice of retirement.
Kim.
All
right, interesting followup.
Thank you, Matt. I want
to tell you right now about a small
wildland fire It's burning in Grand County,
southeast of Steamboat Springs in the
Grand County Sheriff's Office says it
began with some hay bales that caught
fire but then spread to nearby. Sage Hwy.
40 is currently closed westbound at Hwy.
134 and eastbound at milepost 164.
That as long as crews are
there assessing the situation.
No doubt Coloradans will remember this storm.
It was six years ago this week,
when hail the size of baseballs beat up
cars and home is the homes it became the
costliest hailstorm in the state's history.
Well, that was a good day.
Not really. We'll look back on
that moment in a little bit,
But we do want to warn you.
Guess what? We could see severe
storms tonight and tomorrow.
So far it's been all sunny and beautiful.
But do not let that fool you because
things are going to change and
there is a chance for large hail.
Let's get right to Danielle Grant
to check on that storm threat.
Yeah, yeah, you guys.
We look ahead toward tonight into tomorrow.
The news not ideal,
especially for folks that are out and
about driving around because we have
to look out not just for large hail,
but also some damaging winds out there,
incredibly heavy rains.
Plus in the high country we're going
to be looking at snowfall coming
through incredibly heavy snow.
All of this is wild when you have
a view like this, right? Beautiful.
Across downtown Denver today,
temperatures are sitting in the mid 70s,
currently downtown low 80s and
Fort Collins even up into the
foothills and 50s and 60s the winds.
Have started to pick up a bit and they'll
be ushering in a few more changes as
we look at our severe thunderstorm risk.
Much of the urban corridor off
to the eastern side of the state
still under a marginal threat for
seeing severe weather late tonight
into early tomorrow morning.
This includes the I-25 corridor I76I-70,
but the threat tomorrow will be even greater.
As we look out there tonight,
you'll notice a few clouds starting
to form up in the foothills.
Will zoom in and maybe one or two trying to
sneak off the foothills into Lamer County,
but we have not seen anything.
Just yet.
It's going to take some time
before we see these thunderstorms
really firing up like what we have
going on in Wyoming right now.
As we look at the futurecast,
it's late 1:00 AM This is when I
pause the clock and you can kind of
see those strong storms tracking to
the northeast around Fort Collins
into Weld County.
It's these storms that have the potential
for bringing us some large hail late tonight.
Tomorrow morning we wake
up to the cloud cover.
Still plenty of moisture out there and
that's going to help be fuel almost
for these thunderstorms that will once
again be cruising in for us tomorrow.
So not only thunderstorms,
but the potential for seeing some
tornadoes and land spouts too.
This is the threat as we look ahead
toward tomorrow with a slight risk
we'll elevate that tomorrow here for the
Denver area in much of eastern Colorado.
Lightning hail.
All going to be possible late tonight.
Once again,
another round of severe storms on deck
for us and plus that mountain snow,
we could potentially be measuring it in feet.
We'll talk more about that go
over the timeline of Wednesday and
Thursday coming up in a few minutes.
Thank you, Danielle.
We turn to Aurora where police
are investigating a shooting that
sent two men to the hospital.
It happened near the Aurora Hills Golf
Course just a little after 11:00 AM today.
APD at this point say they don't
believe that anyone else was involved.
Other than the two men,
we still don't know how they're doing
at this time and the cause of the
shooting is now under investigation.
About 1000 migrants have arrived
in Denver over the last five days.
The movement was expected as the
immigration rule known as Title 42,
is expected to expire on Thursday.
But those individuals aren't
just coming from the border.
An increase in migrants are
still being released from the
ICE detention facility in Aurora.
Casa de Paz, A nonprofit small nonprofit,
says that the numbers have been
rising over the last couple of weeks.
Yesterday alone, they saw 40 people released.
That's compared to one or two people
on previous Mondays, Casa de Paz,
executive director, says.
Lately, the detention facility has
started releasing on weekends.
And it's sporadic times, she says.
The second group of people released
yesterday happened at 9:00 o'clock at night,
leaving a large group of people
in the dark and lost.
So yeah, so we have to adjust
a lot to kind of what the
detentions in our decides to do.
And and that can be a little frustrating,
but we're happy when people are released.
We're happy to, you know,
welcome people here.
It just that they sometimes
make it harder for us to to
logistically accomplish things.
Custopaz says that a lot of people
released have plans to go to other states,
so really their primary focus
is helping them get there.
They're desperately looking for
volunteers to drive these individuals
to bus stations or airports and
to get them where they want to go.
