SOUTHERN COLORADO — A judge has ruled former 11th Judicial District Attorney (DA) Linda Stanley will have to pay more than $300,000 in a civil lawsuit.
As DA, Stanley served over the following Colorado counties:
- Fremont
- Custer
- Park
- Chaffee
Stanley was disbarred last year after violating attorney conduct rules when prosecuting cases, including the Barry Morphew murder trial.
