A Colorado prosecutor with ties to left-wing billionaire George Soros plans to release a sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a boy at a school after the man was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial.
The Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office said it has until the end of the month to formally dismiss criminal charges against Solomon Galligan, which is required by state law.
“Bottom line: When a defendant is found incompetent to proceed, we are legally obligated to dismiss charges,” a spokesman for the office told The Washington Times. “Our hands are tied based on the findings of competency.”
The office also said prosecutors are barred from discussing what condition factored into Galligan’s incompetency.
The DA’s office said Galligan will be civilly committed to mental health treatment upon his release, but the terms of his sentence were only shared in court.
