Judge recused from trial involving former Arapahoe County social worker

On Friday during a fugitive arraignment hearing, Niceta waived her right to a speedy trial, but that's not entirely why it didn't begin as expected on Aug 1.

In March, Niceta's former defense filed medical documents in court as part of an attempt to show Niceta had a brain tumor and was incompetent to stand trial and face the alleged false child abuse complaint against former Aurora council woman Danielle Jurinsky. The Councilwoman said she believed the false report was made in retaliation for criticizing former Aurora Police Chief Wilson on a radio show. At the time, Niceta was dating Wilson, and working as a social worker for Arapahoe County.

Also in July, Niceta and her mother, Janice Dudley, were indicted on federal charges for allegedly submitting false medical documents to the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office. "It is alleged that she [Niceta] tried to use falsified medical records to avoid prosecution in the instant case. The victims of that crime are two parties: this Court and the special prosecutor assigned to the matter," the document states.
