    Denver judge doubts security guard’s self-defense claim in protest shooting, refused to reduce bail from $500,000

    Those moment-by-moment photographs greatly increase the likelihood that the security guard, Matthew Dolloff, will be convicted, and so increase the risk that Dolloff will refuse to appear in court if released on bail, District Court Judge John Madden IV wrote in a six-page order.

    “The precision with which the moment of the charged homicide is captured is unprecedented in the Court’s experience,” Madden wrote.

    “The evidence of which the Court is presently aware appears to show that, at the time of the shooting, there was no danger from the victim that placed the Defendant or anyone else in imminent risk of death or great bodily injury, and that the victim was backing away from the Defendant holding a can of mace,” Madden wrote, although he emphasized that there will be significantly more evidence considered as the case goes forward, and said that additional evidence could prompt him to reconsider reducing bail.
