COLORADO (KOAA) — Colorado's attorney general has filed an appeal to reverse a decision that overturned Letecia Stauch's murder conviction.
According to our news partners at The Gazette, the appeal was filed on June 29.
Stauch was convicted of first-degree murder in the death of her 11-year-old stepson, Gannon, back in 2023. She was sentenced to life in prison.
