NEW: A judge denied motions to dismiss indictments against two Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies charged in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Christian Glass, citing evidence they “intentionally and maliciously caused harm' to Glass
The criminal cases against two former Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputies charged in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Christian Glass will move forward after a judge ruled there was enough evidence to support their indictments.
Both Andrew Buen and Kyle Gould argued to Fifth Judicial District Judge Catherine Cheroutes that thereBuen faces charges of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment and official misconduct for shooting and killing Glass on June 11, 2022. Gould faces charges of criminally negligent homicide and reckless endangerment for his role in remotely supervising the incident with Glass.
In the chaos that ensued, Glass grabbed a knife and swung it at one of the officers who was standing outside the rear driver’s-side window, prompting Buen to shoot and kill Glass.found that Glass acted in self-defense and wouldn’t have posed a threat to anyone had Gould not authorized the breach. There was no probable cause that Glass committed any crime and there was no reason to detain him, the grand jury found.
Cheroutes found that in Buen’s case, there was enough evidence to show the deputy “intentionally and maliciously caused harm to Mr. Glass by shooting and killing him, which exceeded the authority of his official function as a Deputy Sheriff.” “The malicious intent can be inferred from the aggressive demeanor and the ultimate action of the Defendant shooting Mr. Glass as seen in the bodycam footage,” she wrote in her Friday order denying Buen’s motion to dismiss.

How the “Glass Wall” Can Hold Female Freelancers BackAs freelance working structures become increasingly common, some have argued that this opportunity for women to escape the Glass Ceiling of corporate hierarchies may boost gender equity. However, the authors’ recent research suggests that freelancing comes with its own systemic barriers to equity. Specifically, freelance careers often benefit from horizontal role expansion into new domains, and the authors’ analyses found that women are perceived worse than men when attempting to make these sorts of career moves. This Glass Wall limits female freelancers’ ability to grow their careers, as when they attempt to shift into new, broader roles, they are perceived as having less agency, less competence, and less commitment to their careers than equivalent male freelancers.
