Family of slain Colorado prison guard fights to testify

Family of slain Colorado prison guard fights to testify

CASTLE
ROCK — Relatives of a prison guard killed by an inmate over a decade
ago are fighting for the chance to testify about their opposition to the
death penalty.


Lawyers for Eric Autobee's family are scheduled to make their case to
a judge in Castle Rock Thursday. District Attorney George Brauchler
plans to seek the death penalty for Edward Montour if he's convicted.


Autobee's family argues they have a right to testify during the
penalty phase about how executing Montour would affect them. Brauchler
says the law bars victims from testifying about their opinion on the
death penalty because it would interfere with the jury's job.


Autobee's father has protested against the death penalty outside the
courthouse during jury selection. He says he forgives his son's killer.
