In 2004, Gov. Bill Owens appointed then-Attorney General Ken Salazar, now a U.S. senator from Colorado, to replace Lacy as the prosecutor in a case involving the University of Colorado football program. Lacy's removal came after a sworn deposition surfaced in which she accused university officials of using booze and sex to recruit football players.
Subsequent investigations by the attorney general and by an independent review board found no evidence to support Lacy's allegations.

The Boulder County grand jury charged with investigating the Jason Midyette case has two options—to indict or not to indict. From everything known publicly about the case, there seems to be only two potential criminal defendants, Alex and Molly Midyette.
If the grand jury chooses to indict, whom they will indict and for what remain a mystery. What is not a mystery is what will happen to the case if the grand jury chooses not to indict anyone, as have all the other Boulder grand juries convened to investigate homicide cases in the last 20 years.
If that happens, the case will go nowhere.
"(If) the evidence is presented to a grand jury, and the grand jury decides that there is not probable cause, it does, in some instances, get the DA off the hook."
In this case, getting the DA off the hook means no justice for Jason Midyette.
