DENVER — Gov. Jared Polis on Monday announced he had appointed Anne E. Kelly to be the next 12th Judicial District Attorney in the San Luis Valley after former DA Alonzo Payne resigned in July following his failure to comply with the Colorado Crime Victim Rights Act.
“Restoring trust requires transparency, constant engagement and implementation of effective systems while prioritizing being accessible to the community including law enforcement, victims, community groups, and defense attorneys,” Kelly said in a statement. Payne said in his resignation letter he wanted to “spare the cost and divisiveness of a Recall Election to overturn the will of the voters.” A recall effort against Payne that was initiated by the city of Alamosa had been approved.
