Issue in Colorado process stopped detaining parolee in fatal accident
The Colorado Department of Corrections has identified a significant issue in one of its automated systems that allowed a repeat offender to evade parole supervision before causing a fatal accident. Officials admit that the system failed to indicate that 39-year-old Christopher Moore was still under parole when he was arrested twice recently before the tragic crash. Moore, involved in a fatal head-on collision while fleeing deputies, should have been in custody according to authorities. The oversight has raised concerns about the judicial system's efficacy. The department conducted a review of their data-sharing protocols and found a flaw dating back to 2001 that led to incorrect parole end dates being reported, resulting in some individuals avoiding proper supervision. Immediate actions have been taken, including manually verifying parolee status, daily checks for newly released offenders, and collaboration with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to develop a long-term technical solution. Moreover, efforts are being made to modernize systems to address these issues and complete the necessary replacements promptly.
