COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — An El Paso County, Colorado, judge on Thursday unsealed a 2021 case involving Anderson Aldrich, who is accused of fatally shooting five people and injuring 17 at an LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs.
Defense attorney Joseph Archambault argued that if the case were unsealed, it would destroy his client's chance at a fair trial.
Archambault also argued that the 2021 case against Aldrich involved only allegations, and that nothing was ever proved "beyond a reasonable doubt." Prosecutors did not pursue formal charges in the case, in which Aldrich was accused of making a bomb threat.
