PETITION FOR SPECIAL LEGISLATIVE GRAND JURY TO INVESTIGATE & PROSECUTE CORRUPTION IN COLORADO'S JUDICIAL & EXECUTIVE BRANCHES

We, the undersigned, petition the Colorado General Assembly to exercise its constitutional authority under Article V of the Colorado Constitution to establish an independent special legislative grand jury with statewide jurisdiction to investigate systemic corruption within Colorado's judicial branch and related executive agencies.

Recent evidence, including an October 2024 330-page whistleblower complaint to the FBI and the documented ordeal of Rabbi Jacob Bellinsky's family, exposes a deeply entrenched pattern of corruption requiring immediate legislative intervention.

     ·        Public funds misused to cover up wrongdoing

     ·        Deliberate concealment from financial oversight

     ·        Pattern of using settlements to hide misconduct

3. Ongoing Cover-Up

     ·        Apparent backdating of investigation documents
